[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6032812, member: 6681948"] I assume this is He requires 10 minutes to set it up - no big deal. But he can also use this only twice a day - two Sense Motive checks. Make sure you're asking the right people the right questions. The required '20' for a hunch (which still misses on a 1 - 3, but not for long) could reveal the questioned target is lying because he killed the king, because he has info he has not revealed regarding the murder or trying to mislead the characters for completely different reasons (eg. evidence that would point to him as the murderer is on his person, but he didn't do it). Giving everyone high Bluff skills or otherwise neutering the character seems completely unfair to me. Better to just ban the revelation outright than effectively remove the character's very focused ability. He's spent considerable character resources to get a huge bonus on a couple of skill rolls a day. Rather, I would say ensure he does get good use of the ability to advance the plot. Not resolve everything, but certainly advance the plot and allow the group to accomplish something otherwise highly unlikely to impossible. [/QUOTE]
