I don't know how to use my skills. I am trying to examine a lock of hair, and I have the skill, but I don't know how. Also, I am kind of stuck on solving a case. It is called The Unread Will. If anybody has done this case before, please help. No spoilers, though, just hints.

Skills... Ok... once more from the top Miguel... (sorry Speedy Gonzales flashback)

Once you've bough the smart skill for evidence it works automatically. So you get basic hand and foot to start with, which means you can automatically find footprints and notes.

You have to buy basic thread and hair analysis to be bale to find threads and hairs. You wont find eitehr of these two pieces of evidence if you havent bought these basic skills.

Then you can buy advanced skills in the above. Ie Footprint analysis gives you the ability to find if someone is slim or heavy, 'advanced' thread analysis gives you the ability to find if the thread belongs to a male or female. (I don't know how it works for cross-dressers... ergh joke... ergh bad)

Ok Smart skills work much much much better if you have some smart equipment attached... eg a bloodhound, thinking pipe etc etc

The more smarts points you have equipped the higher the chance that you'll find the best evidence that your detective is capable of finding (depending on what smart skils you have bought)

Hope that helps.

Happy Sleuthing.

PS haven't done Unread Will. You can use 'Research' in FM's even if you haven't got it as a skill yet! That might help.

Secret Squirrel is on the dot with your first question.

I've solved the Unread Will. It never hurts to "give" more. Ask around, and the case is clear.
