Ok, simple question, probably doesnt even rate a post but if i dont get an answer it will keep bugging me. The
standard perception test is Intuition + Perception. If a character doesnt have Perception do they default
to Intuition, thereby making it an Intuition + Intuition test, or doe they just ignore the lack of Perception
and just use Intuition?

See told you it was simple, probably even a bit silly, but like a BTL addict i cant get this one out of my head.

all defaults to attributes are the same, attribute -1

So perception becomes Intuition -1

Also in the event of things that don't use a raw attribute (hacking + exploit) would default to whatever is replacing the attribute (in this case exploit - 1)

So would the perception test then become

Intuition +Intuition -1

or just

Intuition -1

If you see what im getting at.

( Intuition -1 )

Otherwise you make skills completely pointless and break the game.

only Atribute (x1) -1
(Attr x2 -1 wouldn't make any sense because then your Pool without Skill would be better than with Skill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )
