[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 6577108, member: 6776887"] Except Intelligence is more than just deductive reasoning. It includes all aspects of cognitive ability. It seems to me that people can also get better at investigation. Police detectives receive training after all. Sounds like it works as a skill to me. There is no Charisma (Influence) skill because it is too generic. There is Deception, Intimidation, and Persuasion for influence, but Performance is a bit different. This is quite similar to how most of the skills normally associated with Intelligence are recalling lore skills. Going back to the general thoughts about Perception and Investigation: a Wisdom (Perception) check notices that there is a bucket on the counter in my lab. It sticks out of the rest of the stuff because it is propped up so that it is tilted. Opening the lid sees that there is sand immersed in water inside. An Intelligance (Arcana) or Intelligence (Investigation) check could both apply to figure out that the aggregate was soaking as the first stage of specific gravity testing. [/QUOTE]
