[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 1425310, member: 259"] Last things first: absolutely they can request specific bits of information, although in the example you give, I wouldn't give them stats on what the odds of penetrating SR would be, other than (maybe) to say, "You can probably affect them," or, "you probably can't affect them." As for the DM-created creatures, the fact that they're DM-created wouldn't be relevant, but the invisilbity etc. was to suggest that they hadn't been casually observed. I'd give a high DC because perhaps one obscure sage somewhere recorded tales of such creatures from a captured negative energy creature; a PC with a high-enough planes knowledge might've read the tale. Of course, if it were an entirely new creature, the check might simply be impossible: you can't have read about something if nothing's been written about it. I agree that what I suggest circumvents the system; in this case, I really don't like the rules, and so I've replaced them with a campaign-specific system in which I give out information according to how common or famous a creature is In My Campaign.
