Sure, its not very nice from a character standpoint when you have to have a high Wis AND a high Int to know about the Far Realm and its creatures. The way I've split it up is usually like this:Information about the Far Realm, the actual plane (or anti-plane), and star creatures that Star Pact warlocks deal with is all Int-based Arcana. That's pure esoteric magical-ish info that's very difficult for normal people to comprehend. This is the high-level "book knowledge" about the place and creatures.Information specific aberrant creatures that dwell underground (mind flayers, aboleths, beholders, etc.) are part of dungeoneering. I see this as the "street knowledge" about how to deal with the creatures, what their habits are, where they live, who they eat, and the like.Probably not for everyone, but that's how I differentiate the two. Kind of like how one might use History to recall facts about a town from old tomes, but when it comes down to finding the black market, you have to use Streetwise to get there.</blockquote>
