Message: <blockquote data-quote="DNH" data-source="post: 5616223" data-attributes="member: 63615">This is a valid point that has come up in our group before now. Suppose the party is fighting trolls. "Only fire or acid can kill a troll" but it takes a DC 15 Nature check to know that. That is admittedly a rather low DC for that kind of info, all it would take is a passive check by a PC trained in Nature. But the fact remains that unless you make that DC, you don't know that. (Assuming you're not meta-gaming, of course; trolls have been killed only by fire and acid since forever.)A good DM would of course work around the restriction by introducing descriptions such as "You notice a number of scars and scorch marks on its otherwise healthy flesh" and trying to prompt inventiveness by the PCs, but I don't find it hard to imagine party wipes simply because a DM played entirely by RAW.</blockquote>
