Domain and Regency » Knowledge (Law)

Knowledge (Law) is one of the Knowledge skills that reflects the possession of information about legal systems of the domains where your character lives as well as the general theory of law.

A character can make skill checks to evaluate how the law applies to any situation or activity. Characters must be familiar with the code of law be applied though study or experience. Living under a law domain or being a member of a domain with law holdings is sufficient to assume familiarity. Otherwise a character can still be assumed to be familiar with general legal principles.

Characters who also have Knowledge (Nobility) can be assumed to know feudal law, while characters with Knowledge (Religion) can be assumed to know church law.

One interesting way to resolve a legal case or a debate in a legislative body is to use a Debate skill challenge.
