[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7857856, member: 7015476"] Basically, yes. Knowledge can be acquired through role play. But that is not unique. Its true of most resources in some way shape or form in an rp context. However what is also true of most contexts is that some classes give vast boons in the area of some resources. And i cant think of any feature in which this makes more sense than with knowledges. High knowledge bonuses make HUGE sense when considering that your class probably has a lot to do with things youve poured years of you life into you arent getting back. That can be years spent researching, experimenting, reading, practtioning, and getting field experience. All of which could cause a person over many years to turn into a vast repository of knowledge. And the brighter they are (exceptions be damned) the more rapid (with seriously strong correlation to intellect) their capabilties of recollection even in combat will likely be. You didnt live under a rock prior to adventuring (at least most people didnt). You were likely doing things. High knowledge checks for a lot of classes actually make the roleplay MORE authentic IMO. The roleplaying PART is typically what you do with the knowledge. The numbers on the sheet dont take away from roleplay IMO. They reinforce and modify it. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
