[QUOTE="gribble, post: 3650442, member: 12430"] I've already addressed this blatantly incorrect assumption of yours - I note you haven't bothered to respond to those posts. Now who's quibbling about semantics? Right, and your personal interpretation is just plain wrong, according to the rulebook I'm reading. I'll make it simple for [B]you[/B]: [LIST] [*]It's a full round action to perform, therefore requires considerable concentration and effort - it's not something that any person would be using constantly. [*]To be fearful enough to ask "20 questions" before every encounter is definitely treading down the path to the darkside, and worthy of awarding DSPs. [*]It has to be used on a "particular action", and it only lets you know if that action would have "favorable or unfavorable results to you". [*]Any situation relating to using it to sense danger would by definition be stressful and/or distracting, so in these situations you can't take 10. [*]There could very well be circumstance penalties that apply (especially if you're using the "20 questions method" to answer something that it's not intended to be used for). [/LIST] How characters can use that to predict a "change of gears" in any reasonably intelligent and complex adventure is beyond me. If you're so big on proof over assertions, prove that it can be used in this manner. Oh please... Obi Wan even uses the phrase "I [B]feel [/B]it too". Now who's mis-quoting bits of a reply and using the "Jazz defence"? If that's the case you shouldn't have any problems describing another sci-fi setting where all of the above fits in. Please do so.
