My character is a loner so aiding wouldnt make sense 95%. How is your husband going to get the info if he is not going to talk to the captain or look it up. Yes odds are a character would know a little about the planets like the main species so on if its a planet a character knows. I was just figuring that he would go head to see the captain since he made the check. If he goes and looks up the info or just knows all the info then yes aiding another doesnt make any sense. I still would take aid another plus taking 10 over my 19 check since I think it makes more sense if we are both in the room.
My character after the the captains speaks would go find out more info about this planet. He would want to find out what kind of plants,Animals,climate etc. Again my character doesnt care about anyone other than himself so aiding other doesnt make sense most the time.
...Knowledge check, johnny, Knowledge. If it was gather information, I would agree, talk to the captain, look it up, whatever. Knowledge checks though, that is what your character knows based off study, experience, conversation, whatever. It is what my character knows, not his ability to find it out. Hence why asking for aid from anything else to figure out what my character knows/should know is kinda silly.
As my character clearly barely even knows the planets name, however, I am going to have to make him visit the planetary tourism board or what not and do a gather information check
