[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2532727, member: 22622"] Yes, but then we're talking about fantasy vs. realism which is a topic for another thread another day. Right now we're in the rules forum. No matter how much your homerules make the game more realistic, the definition of K:Local is quite clear and the evidience of the other skills and how they are stated gives further reason that K: Local is what it is, a knowledge skill made to see what people know about particular cities, villages and such. Honestly, it makes a lot of sense considering that people do a lot of walking and a lot of traveling. Stories get told very often and knowledge is passed around, not as easily as now by no means, but it is passed. Else we would have all been in isolated communities until the internet. But that was not hte case, Books were sold and merchants went from city to city spreading their knowledge. Adventures become commonplace in towns. Wears get shipped and rumors return. Pcs travel from city to city and those who put ranks in knowledge local skills learn about other lands, spend time in pubs talking and communicating, read more books and study. [/QUOTE]
