However, because you were trying to recall whether troll's have a ranged attack, that would be primary question around which the roll is based. Succeed and you definitely get that question answered. Fail and you definitely don't. Rolling higher than the DC might get you more info, including the info on regen, while rolling lower might still get you something (trolls are green) unless the check was abysmal.Asking "what do I know about trolls" is perfectly valid in my games. However, if it's a particular bit of info that you're interested in, directing the question guarantees you get it on a successful check. Asking an open ended question just gets you an info dump based on how well you rolled, which might or might not include the info you were looking for. Even if the player doesn't know specifically about troll regen, they could still ask whether troll's have any notable powers or weaknesses (which is basically equivalent in my book).</blockquote>
