[QUOTE="Storm-Bringer, post: 4168220, member: 57832"] Not really. History (Orcs) is much different than History. The former assumes a general knowledge of Orcish history, so knowing this hero or that chieftan is likely. But knowing the Goblin Ritual of Tribal Acceptance is right out. With the latter, you have equal chances of both. Having a skill that covers the breadth and depth of everything that occurred [i]before now[/i] is far too broad. Much like Athletics really shouldn't cover Fencing, Jousting, Football and Swimming, although it usually does. Broadly defined includes 'poorly defined' as well. What are the limits of Dungeoneering, for example? Anything that would be done underground? Rope use, mining practices, locating water... One skill can hardly encompass all the things you would do underground or in a dungeon environment. In a previous article, Dungeoneering was used to navigate a runaway mine cart. With applications that wide, I am having a hard time imagining where a skill would [i]not[/i] be usable. [/QUOTE]
