Distinguished Expertise

Distinguished Expertise Social Proficiency [Knowledge] 300 hours This is the skill that enables you to sound like you know what you are talking about. You can follow a conversation as though you had any idea what the speaker was talking about. You can pretend to have been to an area, know a subject of discourse, possess a skillset, or understand the crazy's drivel, without actually knowing about any of these things. The target number that you must roll to beat is equal to the listener's Common Sense. If the victim has any knowledge of the area that you are trying to pretend that you know, add in double the skill levels that the listener possesses to their Common Sense. This skill works quite well with the Bullshit skill, although the two skills are subtly different. The Bullshit skill enables you to lie convincingly, the Distinguished Expertise skill grants you illusory knowledge. The Game Master may allow you to add both levels together for the skill check.
