    Excellent guide. In the character section you're missing the SRD trait "Absent Minded"
    It isn't a huge bonus but it IS to all knowledge checks

    Benefit
    You gain a +1 bonus on Knowledge checks (although this does not let you use a Knowledge skill untrained).

    Drawback
    You take a -1 penalty on Spot checks and Listen checks.

    DM: And there are no guards.
    Player: But there's masonry.
    DM: It's not even animate, let alone sentient.
    Player: That's ok. I'll take the penalty.

    I just posted a collaborative quest in the homebrew section to see if we can generate gameplay ready options for people who want their knowledge (local taverns and alehouses) skill points to yield approximately the same gameplay benefits as a knowledge arcana or architecture check.

    This operation is taking place here: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showt...2#post21968772

    Join our efforts over there.

    As a player of a warlock/wizard/eldritch theurge who took a feat to grab the draconic invocation that gives him +6 to all knowledge skills and gets to use them as if trained, i F-ing love this thread.

    OMG! This thing is done, as far as I can tell. There may be knowledge (nuggets) hidden in the archives, but I think that I got most of them.
