We have a PC with a Knowledge (Local) total of +28. It seems ludicrous that there would be a high level villain in the local area that he hasn't heard about,...

For Gather Information: First, make sure it takes 2-5 hours for each attempt, and adjust all encounters appropriately. Second, note what it says about drawing...

Isn't there also a monetary cost for the information gathered? There used to be in 3.0. It may be insignificant for any character with a +28 GI, but still...

I agree with most of what you have written. However, your suggested mechanic: 10+level=DC doesn't make sense because, according to that mechanic, it's easier...

One premise I feel is reasonable is that the higher the Hit Dice of a creature, the lower percentage of the population it represents. So 1 HD critters are...
I though I knew how Animals Companions worked in DD3.5E, but after the last few games I've played: I'm confused. I do expect to see a druid in the next few...
The way I gather it works is that animal companions can ONLY do the tricks listed, the way they are listed. They are not hyperintelligent and you can't tell...
To "Push" an animal to do a trick it has not learned is DC 25. The animals are not even 'intelligent': they have int 2. One argument I heard a player make is...
... Er, kind of. Read the Handle Animal skill. Also read the Ride skill. And just for an exception to the core rules, read the LGCS. If you're riding the...
Some druid/ranger players will push to see how much a judge will allow; it doesn't mean they read the rules any differently. That said, I can easily see that...
I've no small amount of experience with handle animal (HA), as a local player fairly routinely makes extreme (if not excessive) use of this skill, and I...
My rules of thumb for running animals as a Judge follow. 1. domestic animals need dc10 animal handling check (move action by handler) to do anything but basic...
Generally won't work on bonded animals like animal companions at all...they're not actually trained to follow orders, they just happen to accept the authority...
Riding "war" animals require a DC 25 to attack without rider? I can see that for a horse, but isn't a riding dog a 'war' dog who can also carry a person into...
