Knowledge(all) single skill?


Rules Questions


I just noticed that wizards have knowledge (all), and one of the prestige classes has knowledge (all skills taken individually). Does this mean that wizards have one skill for all knowledge? Perhaps a dumb question, but I can't find the answer anywhere on the boards. :(

No, Wizards just have all knowledge skills as class skills.

They take the skills individually, they just have all knowledge skills as class skills. The prestige class and the wizard are the same in that aspect.

No. It means that instead of listing

* Arcana (ancient mysteries, magic traditions, arcane symbols, constructs, dragons, magical beasts)
* Dungeoneering (aberrations, caverns, oozes, spelunking)
* Engineering (buildings, aqueducts, bridges, fortifications)
* Geography (lands, terrain, climate, people)
* History (wars, colonies, migrations, founding of cities)
* Local (legends, personalities, inhabitants, laws, customs, traditions, humanoids)
* Nature (animals, fey, monstrous humanoids, plants, seasons and cycles, weather, vermin)
* Nobility (lineages, heraldry, personalities, royalty)
* Planes (the Inner Planes, the Outer Planes, the Astral Plane, the Ethereal Plane, outsiders, planar magic)
* Religion (gods and goddesses, mythic history, ecclesiastic tradition, holy symbols, undead)

they just took a shortcut and said all.

Like the Craft, Perform, and Profession skills, Knowledge actually encompasses a number of different specialties


Thanks for the quick reply everyone, just wanted to make sure.
