(thats for humans)for ancient races, i'd give like a 4-8 for Fearun, (while living in the world for 200 years, you tend to here many tales about it as well as see many maps of the world and learn general knowledge thorugh schooling i'm sure) and then like 15-18 for their hometown, 10ish for their region, etc...I certainly don't think they should have to expend skill points for knowledge they pickup naturally throughout their lives.  And its most likely something you can't prevent.    To justify this, people don't just learn knowledge: arcana in the first 20 years of thier lives, its something that has to be taught and most likely paid for (hence spending the skill points to learn it) whereas anyone can learn a great deal of knowledge about an area if they are given 20 or 200 years to do so.then again, i suppose this would be more of a house rule.. hehehe.</blockquote>
