What if I change Landmark, Hidden, Secret to use for character knowledge? idk! elmc.at/common-recal...

elmc.atCommon, Recalled, ObscureLandmark, Hidden, Secret reframed for character knowledge.

I'm not above a simple roll-under-INT for incidental knowledge but I really like the idea of burning time for knowledge. Some knowledge in my game has a level requirement, like "you need to be at least a 4th-level MU to understand these runes." Gives PCs a reason to backtrack or petition a patron.

I do like info gating occasionally but I don't like levels as much, but yeah that totally works. I'd gate information by either giving players something they must achieve or by reputation. They need to have a good standing with the library faction to get access to their vaults. Something like that.
