Outer planes is a sage study in the field of Power, examining the planes of existence beyond the Prime Material. The study provides details, including each plane's natural laws, moral code, reason for being and general extent. The study does provide some knowledge regarding the resident (heroes, demi-gods or manifestations) that dwell upon these planes, but this knowledge should not be confused with other studies that provide detailed knowledge of these things. Knowledge of the outer planes focuses far more upon each plane's structure than it does upon its residents.

Initial knowledge points must be assigned by choice to a specific outer plane. Each time the character rolls thereafter, the new roll may be applied to a different outer plane or to ones already chosen. Knowledge directed towards one outer plane cannot be applied to any other.

The character has no knowledge whatsoever of outer planes outside their assigned knowledge points.
