[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 1126911, member: 2525"] I believe player's with a high bonus to knowledge checks are left thinking "what exactly is it I know with this skill? What things can I do with it?" I am trying to formulate a comprehensive list of DCs for what you can do with knowledge checks. What I am looking for is sidebars, notes, "new uses for old skills", optional knowledge rules, and other details taken from all the various d20 products that give an example of what you can do with various knowledge checks. For example, WOTC's Tome & Blood gives some examples of what you can do with Knowledge: Arcana. Bastion Press' Alchemy & Herbalists give DCs for Knowledge: Nature checks regarding herbs and alchemy. I'm betting a whole ton of other products offer advice and rules for using Knowledge skills. What I am trying to do is make a list of DC guidelines for various knowledge skills similar to the DC list for various "Lore" abilities, such as Bardic Knowldge, Loremaster's Lore, AU's Akashic Delve into Collective Memory, and Diamond Throne's Ollamh Lorekeeper's prestige class Lore. Specifically I will be doing this for an Arcana Unearthed game, but don't let that hold you back. I'm sure any infor on 3.0 or 3.5 Knowledge skills can be adapted to the list of Knowledge skills in AU...not to mention I want the list to be useful for most DMs and player's, not just the subset who play AU. Any and all help would be appreciated. Besides, I bet it will be fun delving into all those old d20 books you have trying to hunt down knowledge skill listings in them to help out a fellow EnWorlder. And, of course, I will post whatever I come up with here, for comment and criticism and common use. Thanks in advance. Let the hunt begin! [/QUOTE]
