From memory and on a quick glance I know these that use Bardic Knowledge that in no way require Bard levels.Ardent Dilettante from Planar HandbookOllam from Complete AdventurerYakuza from Oriental AdventuresLore Delver from Races of DestinyHarper Scout from Forgotten Realms Campaign SettingHarper Mage from Magic of FaerunHarper Priest from Magic of FaerunHarper Agent from Player's Guide to FaerunJordain Vizier from Shining SouthLoremaster from the DMG, as already mentioned.Bardic Knowledge as written is quite useful; it gives you "relevant information about local notable people, legendary items, or noteworthy places." It is NOT a replacement for Knowledge skills. Otherwise it cheapens the value of all Knowledge skills to every class that doesn't have this ability. Many classes get 2 skill points a level; every point put into such skills is hard earned. The power as exactly written gives quite a leg-up. I see no evidence at all that it completely overlaps and replaces Knowledge skills.</blockquote>
