[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 4412841, member: 3424"] A knack could also grant a bonus to a specific type of skill check, or make a slight change the way in which an action works. Lunge, in particular, fixes a pet peeve of mine. [INDENT][B]Easy Escape[/B] Prerequisite: Trained in Acrobatics or Athletics Benefit: You gain a +2 knack bonus to Acrobatics and Athletics checks to escape from a grab. [B]Lunge[/B] Benefit: When you charge, you may attack after moving only one square from your starting position. However, you do not gain the +1 bonus to attack rolls that you would normally get for a charge. [B]Forager[/B] Prerequisite: Trained in Dungeoneering or Nature Benefit: You gain a +2 knack bonus to Dungeoneering or Nature checks to forage. [B]Monster Lore[/B] Prerequisite: Trained in Arcana, Dungeoneering, Nature, or Religion Benefit: Select a specific monster origin or keyword covered by a skill you are trained in, e.g. elemental, fey or shadow for Arcana, immortal or undead for Religion, etc. You gain a +2 knack bonus to monster knowledge checks related to monsters with that origin or keyword. Special: You can take this knack more than once. Each time you select this knack, choose a different monster origin or keyword. [B]Knack Bonuses and Feat Bonuses II[/B] Some of the above knacks provide a +2 knack bonus on certain skill checks. This essentially means that they provide a +2 bonus on the skill checks unless a feat bonus (say, from Skill Focus) also applies to the same skill check, in which case the knack bonus is reduced to +1 (for a net bonus of +4 if the character has Skill Focus in the relevant skill).[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
