Gather Info is asking someone, and there are times you don't want people to know you've been asking; on the other hand, you can always ask someone else (G Info retry) but you know what you know (K(L) no retry). The question then becomes how do you learn about multiple locales. There are two options from other WoTC material:Each point is put in K(L)(Somewhere). I have 3 ranks in K(L) El Paso, and 1 in K(L) Madison, WI. Very precise, but you spend a lot of points.Each rank gives you a new area to access. I think Perform in 3.0 was like this: I have 5 ranks in K(L), and know about El Paso, Madison, Los Angeles, Maui, and Bonaire.Lastly, you immediately have local knowledge anywhere you go -- K(L) is K(L), and wherever you go there you are.The third option is incredibly unrealistic. The first is the most realistic, but I didn't like how it turned into a point sink. The second is just eh. That's why I went with number 3, but the GM decides if you've been there long enough. So a character with 6 ranks in K(L) will know a lot about his hometown, and 1 rank-worth about the town he got to last week.</blockquote>
