Okay, in both the examples gave, it was just the goal. Can you give me an approach useful for:
"I track the wolves prints we found."
"I pick the lock on the chest with my thieves' tools." (Is "with my thieves' tools" enough for an approach?)
"Do I know anything about these symbols?" (for a character with several knowledge skills, some trained.)
(I'm not picking on you, I'm just going back to the original premise of social skills oft having different expectations.)
For some of these, isn't picking an appropriate approach something inherent in the character knowledge of having a good and/or trained skill?
Would you allow "My character is trained in tracking and woodcraft, so I'm using all of my character's knowledge to follow the wolves."?
Huh. "I track the wolves" sounds like the approach to me, with an implied goal of "to discover where those wolves are now."
Similarly, picking the lock would bd the approach, with "to open the chest being the goal."
