I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but what do people think of Active Skill: Simsense Acting? Sounds kind of marginal at first glance, but there are a couple neat tricks that I think I'd allow with it:
* Fooling aura reading (or Empathic sense, or pretty much anything else relying on emotion) * Fooling detect truth, normal mechanical lie detectors, and the like. I'd probably say that fooling emotion-reading would be a TN 4, looking for more or equal successes than the assensing test. Fooling lie detection could be TN 6 looking to beat successes on the spell? I'd say linked to Charisma (or possibly willpower). Probably allow normal defaulting from acting? Any suggestions? |
