Streetwise

Attributes: .................Intellect & Wisdom

Level: .........................DF: 4 BCS 30%; 600 Exp

The character has caroused and brown nosed, greased palms and done deals with and knows how things work in the streets of cities and towns. He does not take long in searching out who is who in a city, town or village. He can make contact with the members of the local thieves guild and other useful street folk. Once accepted he can more easily obtain information not available to the honest folks. This skill is the measure of his ability to pick the right person to question on matters of a less than law worthy nature. See the table Streetwise Results for how successful his choice of person has been, based on his success or failure with the crit die result.

Once the roll has been made and the character has made a contact the player must role-play the situation he finds himself in. Streetwise is not a ‘Do it All’ skill it will only open the right door wide enough for the player to show his cunning and exploit the contact for the insider information he needs. The liberal use of charismatics skills may always improve his situation in such a role.

If he fails interacts with some honest townsfolk the character may have to use those charismatic skills to fast talk and back-pedal his way out of what could be a lot of trouble and a gaol cell. A con may be in order, either that or some slick silver tongued waffle in role from the player.
