Knowledge (Int; Trained Only)
Check
Answering a question within the character's field of study has a DC of 10 (for really easy questions), 15 (for basic questions), or 20 to 30 (for really tough questions).
Retry
No. The check represents what the character knows, and thinking about a topic a second time doesn't let the character know something the character never learned in the first place.
Special
An untrained Knowledge check is simply an Intelligence check. Without actual training, a character only knows common knowledge.
Knowledge (psionics)
Like the Craft and Profession skills, Knowledge actually encompasses a number of unrelated skills, although this entry specifically relates to the body of lore dealing with the phenomena of psionics in all its many manifestations.
Check
Answering a question about psionics has a DC of 10 (for really easy questions), 15 (for basic questions), or 20 to 30 (for really tough questions).
Retry
No. The check represents what a character knows, and thinking about a particular question regarding psionics a second time doesn’t let a character know something he or she never learned in the first place.
Special
An untrained Knowledge (psionics) check is simply an Intelligence check. Without actual training, a character only knows common knowledge about psionics, which is often apocryphal. If a character has 5 or more ranks of Autohypnosis, he or she gets a +2 synergy bonus on Knowledge (psionics) checks.
