He get's a +xx bonus on monster knowledge checks." DM can boost the bonus or say it only applies to certain areas of monster knowledge. If your fighter has killed and skinned a ton of orcs, bonus applies. Bonus doesn't apply when he's dealing with a remorhaz though, cause he knows nothing about them. (Unless he's done his research, in which case, maybe the bonus does apply after all.) And, perhaps said bonus isn't just +2. Maybe your guy knows a ton about orcs now, so he adds his class level to the check instead of +2.Probably lots of other ways to make sure a not-so-smart fighter can soak up knowledge about a specific area he's dealt with a lot.</blockquote>
