The description clearly states that it applies to ALL things local, no matter where that local is. The use of the word "local" in the description creates a connotation that is not supported in the rules and tempts people to look outside the rules to justify applying the connotation they recieved. Allow me to retort. Definitions (I'll use yours):1.a.  Of, relating to, or characteristic of a particular place: a local custom; the local slang. 1.b. Of or relating to a city, town, or district rather than a larger area: state and local government. 2. Not broad or general; not widespread:There you are. I agree with that. Now I say that a character with knowledge (Local) has knowledge of all these local things, whenever these things are local to him. So if he's in one area, he knows anything that's local to that area. If he moves (physically or just mentally) he knows anything that would be local to THAT area. Simple. Also a viewpoint supported in the actual skill description, without applying connotation.For instanceI agree with this. And anything that's local to the characters current condition, mentally of physically, is covered under Knowlege: Local. Provided, of course, that it also falls under what the skill description says is known...</blockquote>
