| - | Created Saturday 27 July 2013 | ||

| - | === GATHER INFORMATION (CHA) === | ||
| - | Use this skill to make contacts in an area, find out local gossip, spread rumors, and collect general information. | ||
| - | **Check:** By succeeding at a skill check (DC 10) and spending 1d4+1 hours passing out money and buying drinks, you can get a feel for the major news items in a neighbor-hood. This result assumes that no obvious reasons exist why information would be with-held (such as if you can't speak the local lan-guage). The higher the check result, the bet-ter the information. | ||
| - | If the situation doesn't require the ex-penditure of money, no Wealth check is nec-essary. | ||
| - | Information ranges from general to protected, and the cost and DC increases ac-cordingly for the type of information you seek to gather, as given in the table below. | ||
| - | General information concerns local happen-ings, rumors, gossip, and the like. Specific in-formation usually relates to a particular ques-tion. Restricted information includes facts that aren't generally known and requires that you locate someone who has access to such infor-mation. Protected information is even harder to come by and might involve some danger, either for the one asking the questions or the one providing the answer. There's a chance that someone will take note of anyone asking about restricted or protected information. | ||
| - | You can increase the amount of mon-ey you use to gather information, gaining a circumstance bonus by effectively offering a bribe (though the process might entail buy-ing more expensive drinks, not necessarily offering a character extra money). Increase the Wealth check DC by 2 for each +1 circum-stance bonus you want to add to your skill check. For example, Brandon Cross is looking for restricted information about a military base that does not appear on any public maps. He really wants to get this information, so he increases the Wealth check DC by +2 for every +1 bonus he wants to apply to the check. In this case, he thinks he can succeed on a Wealth check against DC 22, granting him a +2 bonus on the Gather Information check if he makes it. | ||
| - | **Try Again?:** Yes, but it takes 1d4+1 hours for each check, and characters may draw attention to themselves if they repeat-edly pursue a certain type of information. | ||
| - | **Special:** You can take 10 when making a Gather Information check, but you cannot take 20. | ||
| - | A character with the [[Trustworthy (Feat)|Trustworthy]] feat gets a +2 bonus on all Gather Information checks. | ||
| - | **Time:** A Gather Information check takes 1d4+1 hours. | ||

| - | **Type of Info DC Purchase DC** | ||
| - | General 10 5 | ||
| - | “Who’s the big cheese in this town?” | ||
| - | Specific 15 10 | ||
| - | “What can you tell me about that woman who always travels with the ambassador?” | ||
| - | Restricted 20 15 | ||
| - | “What do they make at that mysterious factory?” | ||
| - | Protected 25 20 | ||
| - | “When is the next test flight for that secret prototype starfighter?” | ||
