Inspecting a creature

Your party members can use their Knowledge and Lore skills to inspect a hostile creature and try to determine its basic characteristics, defense, attacks and special abilities. During the first encounter with a creature, every party member makes a check of an appropriate Knowledge or Lore skill. The greatest check result determines how much information the party learns. If the checks were unsuccessful, you get another chance to inspect a creature after you kill it, or after you increase the skill rank after levelling up. To see what your party knows about a creature, press [] or the "Inspect" button.
