I need a advice, when yours players identify a creature, how do you give the piece of useful information.?
. . .I tell them "this is what you recall/suss out about the subject"?
I ask if they want details about their offense, defense or special attacks, pick what will benefit them the most, and start dropping down.
"His KAC is below average; he's immune to fire; he has poison on his tail attack", and such.
And, Even if the question seems strange, what is the difference between identify creature and recall knowledge?
I suppose, in theory. . . Recall Knowledge is entirely bringing to memory stuff you already know. Identify Creature might, instead, involve at least some element of judgement and extrapolation. So, you can still Identify Creature even if its a native of a planet no one has ever visited before ( though it'd be at a higher DC ). Success would represent, not prior knowledge, but observation and analysis based in your knowledge of other creatures and biologies. You've never seen a Extrastan Venom Beast before, but you can still extrapolate that the giant stinger is almost certainly venomous, and maybe make guesses about diet and behavior based on other such clues.

One is for creatures, the other for topics? Identify has a formula to calculate DC based on rarity, while recall has set numbers based on difficulty?
