[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 293724, member: 2067"] Astrology could be lots of fun... "So, Krusk, you were born under the sign of the Emu in the year of the swine..." "Today you will meet a great challenge and have a relationship crisis of some sort" "The moon is in the house of Hippie. Better not kill and eat that cow, doc..." Astrology might also know some obscure mythos, beasts of olde, the planets, etc. Astronomy would probably be a wizard at timekeeping (say, a DC 10 check to figure out the exact hour it is). He'd know about orbits, swinging, etc. If you want, you could give competing theories and have him make checks based on which theory is true. Is it clockwork? Are they lines or circles?
