I have looked at the Monster Knowledge section in the PH and it says that a PC makes a Knowledge check using the appropriate skill (Nature, Arcana, etc..) the DC for Basic information (name, etc...) is 15, Powers would be 20 and Resistances 25. If a monster is a Paragon tier add 5 to the check, Epic add 10. Would this be a passive skill check? How does this work with the specific lore information given in the Monster Manual for a creature?
What I don't get is this...
If a PC's trains in a Knowledge skill he automatically knows every monsters Name, type and keywords??
Int +3 (16 Int) plus trained Arcana (+5) plus passive bonus (+10) = passive 18 - now that means that a character would have to roll a 1 to NOT know a creatures name, keywords, powers, type... etc...
This can't be right.... can it?
