[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5583314, member: 12460"] I was going to point out Knowledge Devotion, but Xigbar beat me to it. Still, it only helps with Knowledge (nature). But really, you can't [I]do[/I] anything with Knowledge (nature) because Knowledge is not an action skill. It represents what your character knows on a particular generalized subject. In my games, when a player wants to use Knowledge, he generally has to ask a question pertinent to the subject. I set a DC based on the nature of the question and have him roll the check. If he succeeds, I give him the answer. I try my best to avoid the "What do I know about this with Knowledge (x)?" type questions but sometimes it is hard to work around them. With Knowledge (nature), questions like the following would be appropriate: "When is the next full moon?" "How many days are left in winter?" "How often does it rain in this region?" "Is this forest the home of any known fey?" "Was this cavern naturally formed?" "Do these strangle-marks look consistent with those of an assassin vine?" "What sort of dangers exist from falling volcanic ash?" Hopefully you get the idea. [/QUOTE]
