[QUOTE="Erevanden, post: 5152937, member: 19940"] Greetings everyone, A few days ago, while spending some time with my friends in a club, one of them asked me a question about his character in my d&d campaign, and the others (all being my players) joined soon enough. By the end of the conversation, something like this came up: [I] Player 1: I'd be really happy if you could make me a handout for my character's knowledge from all his skills Me: Ok, you mean - what is his knowledge based on his skill ranks :) Player 1: Yup, basically Religion and Geography (Underdark in our case) Player 2: Hey, I'd like one too, we have similiar ranks in those skills, oh and I'd be grateful for something about my Knowledge [planes] as well Me: Sure, no problem :D One day later Me: Crap, what did I get myself into again...:eek:[/I] Based on the above, I began wondering, what knowledge skill ranks do represent in meaningful terms that can be written and handed out to the players without the need of creating 50 pages of encyclopedic musings... ?? If anyone has any experience with something even remotely similar, I'd be very happy for a good advice, or two ;) [/QUOTE]
