Trivia Hound
Wait, you heard something about this once...
Benefit: Whether you're a nosy type, naturally inquisitive, or just have a great memory, your brain is a treasure trove of random information on all manner of topics. All Knowledge skills are always considered class skills for you. Additionally, you may make untrained knowledge checks to know answers to any level of difficulty, instead of the usual basic limitation. At each level you receive 1 extra skill point which must be used on a knowledge skill.
Semi-Total Recall: Once per day, you may make a single knowledge skill check as though had max ranks and rolled a 10 on the die, and without the normal -1 penalty this trait normally bestows. You may announce the use of this ability after your roll has been made, but it must be before the results of your roll have been announced.
Drawback: Your wide range of knowledge sometimes makes it hard to sift through the mental clutter to recall what you actually need. You take a -1 penalty on all Knowledge skill rolls.
Roleplaying Ideas: Maybe you dropped out of that bard college, but still remember how to gather stories, legends, and gossip. Maybe you're always reading other people's diaries. Seriously, stop doing that. Regardless, you tend to enjoy displaying your breadth of knowledge in order to try and impress others, seldom wasting an opportunity to point out trivial facts and details about everything you can remember.
