Insight (sense motive)
With Insight 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.
Frame of Reference: All Skills are bound by the character's Setting (physics), and the details that their culture/society's Science (gathered by Technology), direct experience, and/or collective Records are capable of revealing. A character may not be able to apply their full measure on a different world, with different species and tools. With a common frame of reference, multiple specific Lores can stack.
