New Use: Law. Knowledge of law includes an understanding of the inner-workings of the law in a particular city or county in which the character makes the check. For every five ranks taken in this skill, the character may add an understanding of the laws of another geographical area.
Check: Use the categories below as guidelines for determining the type of information known by the character.
Easy (DC 10): Recall a law known to the general population and the associated punishment for breaking that law.
Basic (DC 15): Comprehend a simple legal document such as a will or recall a specific abstract piece of legal precedence.
Really Tough (DC 25): Comprehend a multi-page complex legal document such as a contract or recall a centuries-old body of law applicable to a specific situation.
Synergy: If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (law) you get a +2 synergy bonus to all Profession (barrister) checks and to your Trial roll (see ‘Administration of the Estate’). If you have five or more ranks in Knowledge (local) you get a +2 synergy bonus to all Knowledge (law) checks.
