I usually allow my players to make general Intelligence checks for Knowledge that they're untrained in. The training represents specialized knowledge/bonuses in specific areas. So... YES, you may make untrained knowledge checks in my games.
would his +2 bonus for humans apply in this case ?

Tonka, I don't have any problems with that modification. I get that the system is new, and all the things you have asked for are perfectly reasonable and haven't come into play in the game yet. All good.
Thank you LadyBrash! So apparently the two archetypes won't stack. I missed one of the deeds. So I'll stick with mouser but swap out TWF with weapon focus (rapier) and then go for fencing grace next time I earn a feat.

Ash, no -- the +2 bonus humans get is for increasing one of your ability scores. Unless you put it into Intelligence, it wouldn't apply to Knowledge checks at all.

Tonka -- Sounds good to me.

I meant the fact that a ranger gets to add +2 to any knowledge check having to do with his favored enemy, which in Fhenryl's case is humans.

Not sure if Knowledge is a skill that can be used untrained (I would think so but per RAW I don't know) but, sounds like at least the DM is treating it as one.
Yep, it can be but it has stipulations. It sometimes called a general knowledge check. Even with out the knowledge, you can make a roll but if the information is considered uncommon or rare usually a DC of higher than 10 the roll auto-fails.

The d20PFSRD isn't as clear as the Paizo reference document so here's another link.

Hi everyone! I'll be out of town for the next two days for Labor Day weekend. I'm actually going to put the game on hold until I get back. We'll pick up with the locksmith at that time. Enjoy the holiday, if you have one! Best to you all.
Sep 5, 2018 1:04 am
Did I lose you all in the holiday?
Sep 5, 2018 1:09 am
still present.

EDIT: it's definitely been quiet though. not sure where everyone else is.

Somehow I have a feeling Fhenryl doesn't needs that +2 hehe.
I'm thinking "tripwire", here... what's your bet, Tonka ?

Re: Kija. From what I've heard on Discord Server, seems MushroomMage has been absent from the site altogether for few weeks. Hope they're okay. But, I think for now we'll have to trudge on without Kija.

Somehow I have lost track of races and classes. Major brain fart mixed with lost notebook. When you get a chance could you all please post yoru race and class. If you don't mind. thank you.

Yeah, somehow a Fire Genasi being a Water Elemental Sorc wouldn't work too well.

Oh, yep I totally blanked on the dwarf bit as well...
As far a Fhenryl, I make a point mentioning his half-elven heritage so I guess everyone's got that one down.
Also the fact he's not exactly the subtle, graceful Legolas type. Think more Wolverine, minus the claws, and adding pointy ears.
I'm definitely contemplating multi-classing him into a rager, barbarian type if he makes it that far (I do seem to recall this campaign is supposed to be a killer...).

Shame about Kija, hope Mushroom is all right, indeed.

NOTE: I am traveling over the next few days (basically from tomorrow to Friday), so maybe not so many posts as I'm used to, but will do my best to catch up as soon as I get connected to the web, again.

Sorry guys for the delayed posting. Stupid real life got in the way. From here on in I'll try and keep up on postings.

LOL, so either I hide it well or everyone just thought I was a short smelly human.

Hi everyone. I’m at a music festival this weekend. I’ll try to post in the morning and at least once a day, but please forgive me if I get caught up.
