Here's a little system I use for my players when they are trying to identify a creature. I use Fantasy Ground VTT so the screenshot is from there.
Making a success using the applicable skill from CORE 506 and using a DC from CORE 503. I present them with this table.
Identify Creature Table
The player then make Notes (as shown) about the creatures as they go
I like this approach, giving More skills a concrete advantage in their wheelhouse and having a clear upfront list of what Recall Knowledge does. I might steal the idea for my table. Out of curiosity, how often is the option where you learn a monster's traits selected? I've been giving it to players as bonus information on successes for a long time because generally it has a small impact and traits are a useful shorthand for monster themes.

No one has selected traits yet. They tend to go for AC and weaknesses (sometimes the weakest save)
