How often will the player information be correct?  Sure the sage says silver works great on the Fey, cuz he read it in a book, written about a guy that killed a bunch of fey with his silver rapier.  Course, he was also 15th level and had lots of magic bonuses.... but that silver sword sure did kill a bunch of Fey, and now a book has been written about it, it must be true.Hell, look around, how much *factual information* is out there now, about how to lose weight, stay healthy, eat right, raise kids, etc.even animal behavior gets studied, and we find out years later that the conclusions were wrong. Same with cultures and people.  Yeah, your character will be able to get information, plenty of information, but how accurate will it be?  And how great will the description of the creature be? When will he know to use the weapon?Heck, in my game, I give each character a list of some things he 'knows'. It covers some actual facts about towns/monsters/etc. Some are correct, and some are "elves are hatched from Elf eggs."To them it is a fact..</blockquote>
