Whispering Lore


Rules Questions


The spell description is thus:

Quote:
Upon casting this spell, you are able to gain knowledge from the land itself. As you walk through the terrain, it whisper information in a language you understand, though the whispering is so rambling it is hard to distinguish useful information. This whispering grants you a +4 insight bonus on a single Knowledge skill type appropriate to the type of terrain you are in. If you are within a cold, desert, forest, jungle, mountain, plains, swamp, or water environment, you gain the bonus on Knowledge (nature) checks. If you are within an underground environment, you gain the bonus on Knowledge (dungeoneering) checks. If you are within an urban environment, you gain the bonus on Knowledge (local) checks. If you are on a plane other than the Material Plane, you gain the bonus on Knowledge (planes) checks. If you enter a new terrain, you lose the previous terrain's skill bonus and gain the new bonus.

Does this allow one to beat DC's higher than 10 for that specific Knowledge skill even if the caster does not have training in that Knowledge skill? In essence, does the spell allow you to make trained checks for that Knowledge area?


Trained-only Knowledge checks above DC 10? No. But it does give a nice +4 insight bonus to the ones you can do. Also libraries are usually in urban places so the Knowledge local check could be done for a higher DC, depending on the library for the low low cost of only 1d4 hours of study.
