[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 7581523, member: 15882"] I don't really see it as a problem either. If there is a 'Lich King' and people want to know more about it, I use their passive Religion or History to figure out what to tell them. I might have tidbits of info at dc: 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 The barbarians have 9 and each know DC 5 knowledge: It's an undead The wizard has a 13 and Knows the DC 10: It's an undead mage The two barbarians put their brains together and hammer out a dc 14(passive with advantage), which nets them what the wizard already knows: DC 10 - It's an undead mage Two wizards put their combined knowledge together and get a dc 18 for the DC 15 knowledge that the Lich has been ruling the lands for the last 200 years. If they want to glean another morsel, I let them roll to see if they heard other facts. Only the wizard will figure out the DC 20 knowledge. A Wizard trained in Religion or History might get the DC 25 knowledge. That was my whole point from before: having a higher Int stat will naturally net you more information and, since wizards tend to be smart, they tend to glean more information than other people who are untrained. I can see the extra languages. You might need to learn multiple languages to decode a variety of tomes that could be useful when learning to unlock the mysteries of the universe and learning to Bend Reality to your Will. [/QUOTE]
