Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thats why i have the identify spell no? Lol jk but seriously trolls should be common enough to have everyone know fire kills them, and anything magical Selce should have learned about or know some kind of information from her training... I think?

I'd say a druid would know more about regular animals of the forest: I'm not exactly sure where druids stand on eating venison by most standards...rangers on the other hand are basically druids that hunt and track for a living so they'd be the best informed on this sort of thing especially if they have the feat for a favored enemy vs a creature or humanoid being of the type...speaking of which, Laren: do you get any spells in this RP? Or are you basically a bow technician?

I've been reasoning about it like this: If we (the player) know about it in detail enough, wouldn't it stand to argue that the character would know about it as well, unless we're talking about newly created beings? (For example, I won't be very garrulous about godly beings or outworlders because I simple don't know much about those sorts of encounters)

Good God, so much to reply to. DAMN YOU COLLEGE scream

Anyways. As Purest stated, even if you, the person, know the entire D&D bestiary, then that's not a valid reason that your character should know it. They are, themselves, an individual within their own world, thus, they must discover these truths on their own at any point during their lifetime, whether it be during their raising/training or their adult adventures.

Rangers would have a greater knowledge of monsters than essentially any other class due to the fact that they are the actual wardens of nature, not the ones who actually are "one with nature". As a result, they not only encounter more creatures, but must prepare themselves for any future encounters. They are unfamiliar with planar beings or greater undead.

Druids would actually have slightly less information regarding the creatures of the world. They would know a great deal about all animal life, and a small amount about humanoids, however, they are blind when faced against creatures that do not belong to nature, such as undead or the races below the earth.

Wizards tend to be the opposite, their focus being on the rare, not the common. They are far more familiar with the creatures of legend and power, such as dragons, undead or the races beneath the surface.

All other classes just have a basic understanding of the bestiary of the world. It would be fairly common knowledge that trolls could only be killed by fire or acid, so its not a stretch to say that your characters knew that anyway.

Yea so Selce knows about your hard to find stuff well be fighting to get out our mutual friends, elf, ogre, and wizard. Beware Beholders! Only thing I think Selce'd have massive trouble with biggrin But seriously they're watching us. All of us...

Also, I'm assuming Halflings wouldn't know much about creatures from their short lives, true?

smile Thank you. Thank you very much Zero.

OOOOOooh, how do we know where or how to find the secret missions?

Anyone else going to point out that scanners tazers and cameras dont exist yet....
