I dunno... good question.
as only one example... If you were playing/running a game and it had a thing that was mostly "Trivia: the character can recall interesting facts useful to the situation at hand which are not actually part of the plot or mystery or clues." = how would you use it?
There are certainly many other ideas and ways to write up a Trivia ability or skill, I am hoping to explore what everyone thinks of when it comes to "Trivia" as a useful thing for a character to do.
And I will be honest, I have no idea or requirement on it, just wondering stuff![]()
I'm afraid the only answer I can give is too general to be of much help: "the character recalls some useful info."
Maybe you could translate that into a dice roll modifier for a relevant skill. "Oh, all these old Chubb safes use a triple tumbler."
Or maybe you give a clue for a puzzle. Or even the answer. e.g: "Oh I've seen this in an old Dr Who episode, it's the old 'One always lies, one always tells the truth' conundrum." Just hope you don't get those idiots from Labyrinth.
