[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7201963, member: 23751"] Not to any great degree. It's used for random knowledge checks, but not for any sort of established knowledge. The 10 int PC is going to have added the same amount of knowledge as the 20 int PC by the time the campaign ends. Awesome. It still establishes that age gives lots of knowledge. Wisdom is not knowledge, but rather good judgment and willpower. From PHB page 178. "Wisdom reflects how attuned you are to the world around you and represents perceptiveness and intuition." Yep! Not knowledge at all. I never said it did. Stick with my arguments please. Yes it does. It just won't necessarily be in the same categories. Eh, no. I'm quite literally talking generally, not specifically. I quoted from the general section about dragons. There was a dragon or two where specific beat general, yes, but most of them didn't change those general behaviors I quoted. Nothing in that section has any meaning with regard to dragons and how they would react to insults. Yep. That only strengthens my position. You don't get offended by an inferior twit trying to insult you. You rule them with an iron first.......or eat them. It doesn't have to respond immediately, nor does it respond stupidly just because the PC was a gnat that tried to be insulting. When angered is the key there. It doesn't say that it's going to be angered by a gnat that attempts to insult it. If that gnat had the temerity to steal some of its horde, though... Proof that it doesn't apply? Not even close. Some, not most, and it still doesn't take into consideration all the encounters out in the wilds that WILL happen over centuries. Those dragons will still have tremendous experience and knowledge. [B]Might[/B], and I never claimed perfection. Again, never claimed perfection. We are also far afield from insults. You should try to stay on topic. Nope. That's an incorrect assumption on your part.
