===Knowledge ([[SRD:Intelligence|Int]]; Trained Only)===

Like the [[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]] and [[SRD:Profession Skill|Profession]] skills, Knowledge actually encompasses a number of unrelated skills. Knowledge represents a study of some body of lore, possibly an academic or even scientific discipline.

Below are listed typical fields of study.

* Arcana (ancient mysteries, magic traditions, arcane symbols, cryptic phrases, [[SRD:Construct Type|constructs]], [[SRD:Dragon Type|dragons]], magical beasts)
* Architecture and engineering (buildings, aqueducts, bridges, fortifications)
* Dungeoneering ([[SRD:Aberration Type|aberrations]], caverns, [[SRD:Ooze Type|oozes]], spelunking)
* Geography (lands, terrain, climate, people)
* History (royalty, wars, colonies, migrations, founding of cities)
* Local (legends, personalities, inhabitants, laws, customs, traditions, [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoids]])
* Nature ([[SRD:Animal Type|animals]], [[SRD:Fey Type|fey]], [[SRD:Giant Type|giants]], [[SRD:Monstrous Humanoid Type|monstrous humanoids]], [[SRD:Plant Type|plants]], seasons and cycles, weather, [[SRD:Vermin Type|vermin]])
* Nobility and royalty (lineages, heraldry, family trees, mottoes, personalities)
* Psionics (ancient mysteries, psionic traditions, psychic symbols, cryptic phrases, astral [[SRD:Construct Type|constructs]], psionic races, and psionic monsters)
* Religion (gods and goddesses, mythic history, ecclesiastic tradition, holy symbols, [[SRD:Undead Type|undead]])
* The planes (the Inner Planes, the Outer Planes, the [[SRD:Astral Plane|Astral Plane]], the Ethereal Plane, [[SRD:Outsider Type|outsiders]], [[SRD:Elemental Type|elementals]], magic related to the planes)

=====Check=====

Answering a question within your field of study has a [[SRD:DC|DC]] of 10 (for really easy questions), 15 (for basic questions), or 20 to 30 (for really tough questions).

In many cases, you can use this skill to identify monsters and their special [[SRD:Powers|powers]] or vulnerabilities. In general, the [[SRD:DC|DC]] of such a check equals 10 + the monster’s [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]. A successful check allows you to remember a bit of useful information about that monster.

For every 5 points by which your check result exceeds the [[SRD:DC|DC]], you recall another piece of useful information.

=====Action=====

Usually none. In most cases, making a Knowledge check doesn’t take an action—you simply know the answer or you don’t.

=====Try Again=====

No. The check represents what you know, and thinking about a topic a second time doesn’t let you know something that you never learned in the first place.
