Wild Empathy or Bardic Knowledge?

[howandwhy99]

I think it's too close to call. Both are very useful abilities. I've seen Bardic Knowledge though used as Knowledge(Everything), so that might account for the disparity in voting.

How about, "While you guys hang out at the tavern, I'm going to go empathize with some animals out in that stand of trees at the town's edge..." Force the DM's hand!

THIS IS THE SPCA. STEP AWAY FROM THE HAMSTER, AND KEEP YOUR HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM.

"Hey, little buddy! I understand how you feel, running around that wheel all day long. I have EMPATHY... (roll) 22 points of empathy."

I completely altered an encounter with Wild Empathy tonight!! It was one of them Eberron modules and what was supposed to be a test for the five person party, my Druid handled with skill and expertise all by his lonesome and Wild Empathy was the skill that made it happen!!!
