Bullshit

BullshitSocialProficiency [Personality]400 hours
Most games call this "bluffing," "con-artistry," or some other crap name that hides its true meaning. This is the delicate social art of feeding someone a load of bullshit so deep that you need hip-waders—and having them willingly accept it. For general lies ("That guy I walked in with is buying."), you must roll higher than the target's Common Sense. More difficult-to-swallow statements are more difficult to roll, as are attempts at bullshitting when someone wants to kill you (i.e. combat). Game Master sets the penalties. A well thought out, logical, half-truth with supporting evidence could get a bonus. Optionally, when a non-player character attempts to use this skill against player character, the player rolls a Common Sense check with the liar's skill level as a penalty. If players want to use this against each other, a role-playing situation usually doesn't require Game Master intervention—until someone rolls to attack.
