[QUOTE="Ranger19k, post: 5528471, member: 98621"] Just something else to think about / look at is the mechanism on how your character "took" knowledge devotion. If he used cloistered cleric to get access to all the knowledge skills and then used a separate feat to take knowledge devotion, then he would have all Knowledge skills as class skills for that cleric level - which he probably took at first level, which equals a lot of knowledge skills. However, if he swapped the cloistered cleric's knowledge domain for knowledge devotion, instead of using a separate feat, which is the way most people using that build go, then he looses access to the knowledge domain granted power -which happens to be all those knowledge skills as class skills. People building swift hunters often forget this small step. So if he did swap out the knowledge domain for the devotion, he needs to be buying all of those knowledge skills as cross-class skills. That means, for those 10 levels of scout, his only class knowledge skills are nature, dungeoneering, and geography, which should yield lower numbers for all the other knowledge skills. If he's getting a +5 additional dmg against every type of creature he runs across due to his knowledge devotion check, it might be worth checking what got bought as a class skill and what got bought as a cross-class skill. It might bring down the additional damage level against certain creatures. Or, he might have done it correctly all along.... who knows. [/QUOTE]
