Message: <blockquote data-quote="Drudenfusz" data-source="post: 6340859" data-attributes="member: 73113">Especially since we have skills in 5th Edition (or had already since 4th Edition) like Athletics that do what many different skills did in 3.5 is my reasoning to put a few old knowledge skill together as Culture. History existed as skill beside Knowledge (Nobility and Royality) and Knowledge (Local) in 3.5 and besides Streetwise in 4th Edition (were cultural aspects could be agured could be found under the nature knowledge checks, since nature seemed to handle that kind of lore here). Now, in 5th Edition we lose Streetwise (yeah, sure it was not a knowledge skill, but I often enogh saw it used as one) and Nature is no longer responsible for that knowledge. So, I want a knowledge skill for that sort of things, and with the rather broad approach of skills (even though they have no conflict reslution inherent, or maybe because of that?) I think Culture would be a nice addition.On the idea to replace History with Culture I have to say that I think they both are probably still distinct enough to justify having both. Since there are historical aspects which are not culture related and there are cultural things that have a precise historical origin (like customs of which nobody remembers why they exist in the first place). Also, I would like to be capable to have a sage with historical knowledge but not much knowledge in to actuall cultural things (like current politics) or a diplomat who knows plenty of differnt cultures but has no clue about any historical events. And I certainly don't want to have that knowledge tied to just one Background.</blockquote>
