[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 3015997, member: 478"] Gather Information can give you information on top of the basic information needed, depending on how well you made the roll, the better and more useful information you will gain. This could help in planning ahead then. Somewhat, yes. Social skills are there to describe how good [i]your character[/i] is in various social situations. They are a guide to roleplaying. They can be used this way, i.e. make the check first, then make a description based on the result, or describe first and gain a modifier on the check, then make the check to get a result. It's not about choosing the player best suited for the job, the game isn't about winning, and that approach would go into that direction. Instead you choose the player with the character best suited for the job. Player-solved riddles are just interludes, that have little to do with the characters involved usually.
