Isn't that unfairly penalizing someone for not taking a knowledge that wasn't available to be taken? no roll allowed? that's silly. roll off an inappropriate knowledge? not very satisfactory. I haven't really come up with a knowledge that isn't covered yet.  It is normally related to one of them at least slightly, I use that one.  If it ABSOLUTELY isn't covered, I'd probably just use an int check, but I haven't had to do it yet.</blockquote>
