Is the intention of the Keen recollection ability that you are supposed to be able to use it to pick the most specific lore skill you can imagine to the situation, and thus be rolling against a massively reduced DC for gaining knowledge? With so many skills and a need to go INT and WIS, it seems like it must be, but if so, there needs to be a little more clarity and help for GMs in determining DCs for when the investigator says, I want to make a recall knowledge check using my Lore: Ancient Blue Dragons skill to find out about this creature's weaknesses, or where they make their lairs.

The ability would still be somewhat limited by it being an untrained skill, until they get deductive improvisation at level 11 and then they would treat it as trained, but how much the DC could be reduced by the Investigator choosing the right lore skill probably needs to be set or made more clear, to prevent this ability from acting like legendary proficiency for finding out basic information about anything (by reducing the DC by 8 or more).
