Basic Education

Once a day, specialists may use the Basic Education ability to make any knowledge check with the specialist's level + intelligence modifier to use like a knowledge skill.

Example of Use
Ted, a level 1 human specialist with 13 intelligence, wishes to identify a certain rock formation. Unfortunately for him, he has no skill ranks in Knowledge:Geology or anything similar. Desperate to identify the formation, he opts to use his Basic Education to try and recall some past general knowledge which may apply to the situation. The Knowledge:Geology DC to identify this particular formation has been set by the GM as 14. Ted rolls a d20 and gets a 13, which when added to his intelligence modifier, earns him a 14, which allows him to identify the formation.

Had Ted rolled a 12 or lower, he would not have been able to identify the formation.
