[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5007231, member: 82106"] Well, maybe its used differently in Boston. Let me tell ya feller, up here in Vermon' we dun use it for anything to do with indoors or buildings at all. In fact I'd almost rather that Nature covered animals period, though its not really a big deal (both wisdom skills, anyone good at one is probably decent at the other). The question does arise though, what would roll if a players says "My character is going to examine the building to see what happens if I knock this pillar over." Underground you'd strongly think that Dungeoneering would cover that. Why would the same character not be able to use that skill to do the same thing just because its above ground? No other skill covers it. Saying it isn't covered by a skill at all means no character can excel at doing this except by raising their WIS (or whatever ability score you would have to use for checks, INT maybe). Seems kind of weird. Ability checks are fine, but some level of knowledge of buildings and such seems like something potentially useful enough to PCs to be covered by one of the skills. [/QUOTE]
