[QUOTE="BookBarbarian, post: 7625605, member: 6802553"] The reality is I don't know what I would call for until I'm in the moment, but here is my thought process on reading about it right now. Multiple checks to determine multiple things. If the player states something like "I examine the tracks and try to determine type of creature made them" that to me implies that the character is comparing the tracks to some learned knowledge so Intelligence (Nature) check. I examine the tracks and try to determine how many there are: This seems to me comparing them to each other in the moment looking for differences rather than recalling info so Wisdom (Survival). Though determining type of creature like the above example could give this role advantage by knowing something like the average herd size for the known creature. I examine the tracks and try to determine if any are injured: This seems like a basic survival skill. Knowing which is injured is hugely important to being successful in primitive hunting (though less so in modern hunting). Wisdom (Survival) I might let medicine apply, and would probably grant advantage again, if creature type was determined like in the first example. [/QUOTE]
