<h1>Siberius: Knowledge</h1>

<p>
|
||
<strong>Knowledge</strong>
|
||
<em>(<a href="https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Intelligence">Int</a>;
|
||
Trained Only)</em> is a family of skills in the Siberius homebrew.
|
||
Knowledge represents your study of some body of lore.
|
||
A knowledge check may be used to answer
|
||
a question regarding your field of study,
|
||
and in addition provide an array of
|
||
<a href="https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Skills#Skill_Synergy">
|
||
skill synergies</a>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This skill family is a simplification of
|
||
<a href="https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Knowledge_Skill">
|
||
the system used in D&D 3.5e</a>,
|
||
which contains a lot of complexity and useless skills.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2>Knowledge checks</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
A knowledge check is a free action used to
|
||
recall information about your field of study.
|
||
You cannot re-try knowledge checks; you either know the answer or you don't.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h3><a href="https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:DC">Difficulty Class</a></h3>
|
||
<table>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<th>Knowledge DC</th>
|
||
<th>Effect</th>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td style="text-align: center">10</td>
|
||
<td>Answer a very easy question.</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td style="text-align: center">15</td>
|
||
<td>Answer a basic question.</td>
|

</tr>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td style="text-align: center">20–30</td>
|
||
<td>Answer a really tough question.</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
</table>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For every five points by which your check result exceeds the DC,
|
||
you recall another useful piece of information.
