===== Knowledge Skills =====

Knowledge skills are nearly always based off of //Intelligence//. At a low level they can be represented by common sense and experience, but at higher levels they generally require some level of book learning.

  * **Alchemy** - Knowledge of making, using and identifying alchemical mixtures.
  * **Arcana** - Knowledge of magical things.
  * **Common** - Knowledge of common 'human' society and culture.
  * **Dungeoneering** - Knowledge of things and places found underground.
  * **Engineering** - Knowledge of how to build mechanical and architectural things.
  * **Geography** - Knowledge of physical terrain and also where things are.
  * **History** - Knowledge of what has happened in the past.
  * **Medicine** - Knowledge of medicine and healing people.
  * **Nature** - Knowledge of plants and animals.
  * **Nobility** - Knowledge of noble etiquette, structures and who is who.
  * **Philosophy** - Knowledge of the theories of morals and ethics.
  * **Planes** - Knowledge of the metaphysics of the outer planes.
  * **Religion** - Knowledge of cults, priests and gods.
  * **Warfare** - Knowledge of military strategy.

Knowledge skills may have specialisations. //Geography// and //History// for example will have specialities for particular regions. If you have never been to, or read about, a place then you won't know anything about it until you also pick up a //speciality// in that area.

//Knowledge Common// is had by almost everyone to some degree. It covers human, and human-like, culture, civilisation and society.

  * **Magic Theory** - Knowledge of how academic magic works, for the purpose of learning and inventing spells.
