Check: Answering a question within your field of study has a DC of 10 (for really easy questions), 15 (for basic questions), or 20 to 30 (for really tough questions). In many cases, you can use this skill to identify monsters and their special powers or vulnerabilities. In general, the DC of such a check equals 10 + the monster's HD. A successful check allows you to remember a bit of useful information about that monster. For every 5 points by which your result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful information.

Use: Usually none. In most cases, making a Knowledge check doesn't take an action. You simply know the answer or your don't.
