Knowledge(nobility and royalty) (Int; Trained Only)

Like the Craft and Profession skills, Knowledge actually encompasses a number of unrelated skills. Knowledge represents a study of some body of lore, possibly an academic or even scientific discipline.

Below are listed typical fields of study.

Nobility and royalty (lineages, heraldry, family trees, mottoes, personalities)

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).

For every 5 points by which your check result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful information.

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

Try Again:
No. The check represents what you know, and thinking about a topic a second time doesn't let you know something that you never learned in the first place.

Synergy:
If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (nobility and royalty), you get a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks.

Untrained:
An untrained Knowledge check is simply an Intelligence check. Without actual training, you know only common knowledge (DC 10 or lower).
