Basically its the same thing the PCs do; in reverse - so an organized group might use Gather Information to learn the PC's numbers, general fighter/divine/arcane breakdown, favored weapons/spell effects, racial breakdown, etc with knowledge(x) rolls providing additional insight regarding learned details ... however NOTHING should reveal exact class/level details since those are metagame terms used by the GM/Players to describe the world and not something Inhabitants would know/use. ie: Gather Information would reflect an organized group's attempts at eavesdropping/spying on local settlements (esp taverns) and trading information/etc with other similar beings with additional skill roles building upon that basic data framework with low/failed rolls providing false information just like it would the Party. For instance reliable sources confirm (DC10) a new adventuring band recently arrived in town from (direction) boasting about <prior accomplishment>, VISUALLY comprised of #fighters, #divine, #arcane; races; bearing holy symbol descriptions with (DCxx) confirming the boasts are not only accurate, but they are also responsible for <prior adventures the organization might somehow be concerned with by race/god/region> with a tendency to use YYY spell-effects/etc. (DCxx) One of the PCs was spotted with a <describe beast>  (DCxx) currently lurking around location. Knowledge(religion) reveals the aforementioned fighters are in fact paladins, and/or the described holy symbol represents XXX with higher DCs revealing XXX's favored weapons, domains, etc. Knowledge(nature) confirms the stabled beast (DCxx) is an incredibly well-behaved and substantially above average for its breed implying the owner is a Ranger/Druid.one way to run them if you have the spare players or someone "away" on a side-quest, spending time crafting, or otherwise out of the immediate action to run the monster group (esp better organized ones) making it effectively PC vs PC refereed by the GM.</blockquote>
