[QUOTE="Caliber, post: 629128, member: 1310"] The reason a Bard would want to take some Knowledge skills is the same thing we've been saying. Worthy of being written about. A Bard with 23 Ranks in Knowledge:History might be able to tell you every single detail of a Kingdom's history. A 20th Bard could use Bardic Knowledge to tell you every song about a Kingdom's history. They don't exactly overlap. A lot of things could have happened (exact dates of minor kings births and deaths, economy flucuations, introduction of a new product or spell) that would defintely not be in song. And conversely, if you DM feels like being a bastard, a lot of things could have happened in song that never happened in real life (err ... DnD life that is) I let Bardic Knowledge work for anything, as long as I determine it is something a song might be written about. And the less likely a song is to be written about it, the harder a check it will be. [/QUOTE]
