[QUOTE="Belen, post: 1864574, member: 1405"] If I remember correctly, Knowledge (Arcana) gives you info about magical creatures and beasts Knowledge (nature) gives info on animals and natural creatures Knowledge (dungeoneering) gives info on Aberrations so on and so forth.... I do not play LG, but I had two of them in my old group. They convinced my wife (first time GM) to allow this type of activity. While they did not look in the MM, they said that a DC 15 + HD of creature) gaves them the ability to learn one of the special attacks, qualities etc for every 5 that they make it. They actually took knowledge skills between them to blanket the monster spectrum. This is the type of blatant cheese that I do not like about 3e. And say what you will, Psion, the RPGA is official and thus contributes to the promotion and culture of 3e. In fact, many of the changes for 3.5 came about because of blatant cheating and playetesting within the RPGA, so they have a direct influence over the game. I am not saying that all 3e games have these problems. I am saying that these problems are the trend within the game and the community and in some cases, being officially promoted and endorced by WOTC. [/QUOTE]
