Detect Lies

Detect Lies Social Proficiency [Common Sense] 400 hours Double learning difficulty With this skill, you notice the subtle clues that let you know that someone is feeding you a load of B.S. If someone has the Bullshit skill, you have a penalty to your skill roll equal to the amount that he or she succeeded. For example, if someone rolled 3 more than your common sense on their B.S. skill check, then you have a -3 on your Detect Lies skill check. Alternately, both skills can be rolled normally in a challenge of Detect Lies vs. Bullshit skills, with the winner of the challenge either successfully lying or noticing the lie. In order to notice when someone is being untruthful, you must be actively paying attention and trying to notice falsehood; i.e. not ignoring them or deciding later in the day to notice if someone was lying.
