[QUOTE="Arravis, post: 2544531, member: 327"] Yes, most people know what a drow is. What the average person knows is not a Bardic Knowledge check. Knowledge Skill checks reveal details like their SR, powers, and so on. Bardic Knowledge checks do not. Nothing in the rules implies that sort of result. Commoners and most people know the very basics of the Drow (ie, evil elves that live underground, black skin, etc). A bard has additional knowledge in that he may know of the stories of many specific drow. Someone with the proper Knowledge will know details of their powers and abilities. Knowledge skill checks and Bardic Knowledge, as clearly written in the rules, are different things. People keep bringing up issues of what a bard would ask around the campfire or hear in songs, etc... Who knows what's asked, it could be debated all day what's mentioned in tales and songs. How specific or vague, how in-character or meta it is. In the end it doesn't matter. This is the rules forum and it deals with the rules as written, nothing more. [/QUOTE]
