This skill measures the character’s skill at telling the difference between someone telling the truth and lies. This is not a simple thing to do, if a lie was being told, Detect Lie can be applied directly to see if he has spotted some tell or story discrepancy that gave away the lie. If however, a character is the subject of a Con, he can resist the con using his Detect Lie less the PSF% of the one undertaking the con. In some cases the skill may not be need to discover the lie, for instance if a character has skill in Lapidary and a con artist is attempting to sell a cheap semi precious stone as a valuable ruby, the character would use the skill with the best chance i.e. the highest PSF% to spot the con.
