[QUOTE="Bawylie, post: 8085239, member: 6776133"] No it does not and yes they could. For one, Holmes famously made use of connections, disguises, agents, and very acute observation. Dat magnifying glASS, tho. He’s also keen on animal behavior and inferring motivations. hes definitely got some medicinal and poison knowledge, tobacco knowledge too (I suppose you could use those in a safe environment that takes enough time to not require a roll). And he uses intuition more than logic. Makes conclusions like “the dog didn’t bark at the thief, so the dog must have known the thief, so the thief is actually the victim and this is fraud.” Which might fit under a reasonable use of Animal Handling, Insight, or some other Wisdom based ability. “It’s just high wisdom” seems like a cop out to me. But the use of disguises, agents, and connections would be legit. And in conjunction with exceptional Perception, he could practically ignore Int checks altogether. And even that leaves out divination spells. [/QUOTE]
