Knowledge skill that gives template knowledge?


Rules Questions


When using a knowledge skill to find out information about a monster you have the various types Arcane = Magical Beasts etecetera.
In the case of a template that is visibly obvious is their a knowledge skill that can be used for information?
Some templates clearly fit in existing classes - Wight Template is "Undead" = Religion.
But "Giant Template" and similar untyped templates don't appear obvious to me.


I dont think this is official, but i'll give my two cents because i dont believe there to be an official rule at all.

I think a templated creature is the exact same knowledge skill, unless the template changes type. I just add a bit to the knowledge DC


If the template doesn't change the monster type, use the usual knowledge skills. The details of the template are still discovered by the knowledge skill and the check DC is already modified by the CR change from the template.

For example, giant template applied to a zombie is still undead.


What protoman said. apparently there were rules, and he knew em :)
