On the Bloodline Skills page, there is a skill called "Knowledge (War)." Elsewhere, there is a skill called Warcraft? Is this the same skill?

I'd think Knowledge (War) would be historical knowledge and theory, while Warcraft is the more practical application? Maybe?

Perhaps, although there's also a "Lead" skill that would capture much of the art of battlefield command and a "Knowledge (History)" skill that should provide an historical context for warfare.

Ok did a bit of reading.
Lead/Command are the same skill from RoE - they represent commanding from the front. Knowledge (War)/Warcraft are the same skill from RoE - they represent strategic command.

Thanks for looking that up. I have to admit to being concerned about skill creep as well. Unless you're playing a class that gets lots of SP, you very quickly find yourself short in 3E.

True, the recommendation for the skills also says that Warcraft > Command for a regent as you shouldn't be leading any charges yourself.

The Knowledge:War got in from the Oriental Adventures supplement, as far as I am concerned it would represent a theoretical knowledge, such as the guy who has read Sun Tzu, Clauswitz, Lidell-Hart, but has no actual experience in war, and so would make a good staff officer type (say an advisor), while Warcraft would represent having actual practical experience and training, though whether such a distinction is useful or necessary is another question altogether. I don't think it is needed, but I don't think it causes any problems really.
