Insight (sense motive)

you can sense the motivations and intent of others and assess the truthfulness in relation to what they are displaying or claiming in social situations. Using subtle clues – variations in speech, body language, reading between the lines, etc. – you get a deeper sense of their motives, moods and attitudes. If successful, it will reveal that some part of what is being revealed is not 100% truthful or accurate. It will NOT reveal the actual truth.


  • Major Result: Indicates what part of a reveal is lacking in complete truth, and perhaps if it is through leaving something out or actively mislead.
  • Extraordinary Result: Reveals same as Major Result and the exact point and nature of deception.

i20™ Making Checks: In going with the "Rule of Averages", only a single Result Check is made to determine Success or Failure and degree/quality of either of an Activity. The GM will { } Narrate it, and/or you may petition for an appropriate impact when anything other than a basic outcome is indicated. Note that checks made without proficiency can only apply a Attribute bonus no greater than the character's Proficiency Bonus.
