Highest Knowledge check DC ever printed?

[Jowgen]

So yeah, what it says on the tin. Does anybody know what the highest DC for a knowledge check to know something ever printed in a 1st party (inc drag mag) 3.0-3.5e resource is?

The highest I'm aware of is DC 55 from Elder Evils p. 145; which is to know everything about the battle between Asmodeus and the Elder Evil Zargon.

I think the ELH has something in the 150 range, but I don't have it in front of me to check. Then again, ELH, so that's almost cheating

Devastation vermin require a DC 138 Knowledge check to learn anything about them, though that's "printed" in a somewhat roundabout way.

I checked it and there doesn't seem to be anything in there :smallfrown:

Not familiar with that one. How's it work? :smallconfused:

Standard formula for the Knowledge DC to ID a creature is 10+HD, so Devastation Vermin are DC 138. You'd think it would be easier to know a giant spider when you see one, but whatever :smallsigh:

The DC is -5 for "OH MY GOD RUN AWAY!!!" :smalltongue:

Heh, I'm now envisioning a sufficiently stupid character with enough debuffs (negative levels, bestow curse, whatever) to actually fail to hit a -5 DC, and start trying to pet it affectionately to befriend it.

I believe the highest DC is 10+HD+5X where X is how much information you will learn about the creature.

You only need a vague DM. "you see a big spider in front of you..." :smalltongue:
