[QUOTE="geezerjoe, post: 882759, member: 8603"] I think that it all depends upon your campaign world. How common are the races? For instance, while a city that's been besieged by goblins for decades would know a goblin on sight, a city that's been rather isolationist may have no idea that the little orange buggers are dangerous. So it just depends. I would however suggest that a DM let players understand what level of knowledge they would have about the game world before the game begins. For instance in the game I currently play the DM doesn't think that my cleric should be familure with any undead that he's never seen before ... my idea while gaming was "Im a cleric ... I ought to know undead when I see them ... at least the standard ones otherwise one of my character's primary abilities is greatly weakened" (Since I've DMed a LOT its hard for me not to know what monster is what ... but I try to roleplay) Who's right? Well ultimately he is ... it's his game world, but I sure wish I'd put a higher stat in Int. so I could put some ranks in Knowledge Undead!!!!! l8r) Joe2Old [/QUOTE]
