Adjustments?

I'm sorry if I am overlooking the answer to this somewhere else, but I haven't found anything yet. I am wondering how the adjustments work. I got a jade bracelet, a charm adjustment of '2'. I assume that strengthens whatever charm skills I have, but is there some way of knowing exactly how each adjustment effects each skill? For example I have no idea how much help an adjustment of '2' would give me, will I actually notice some kind of effect when talking to witnesses/businesses? And how high do the adjustments eventually get?

*knows it late, and her answers tend to be a mess at this hour, but decides to try anyway....*

The jade bracelet increases your chance of your chaming interview skills working by 2.

There has been some debate over whethere this is percetages or not..but for the purpose of this discussion, don't worry abou that.

Everyone in Sleuthville here has a base reaction to charming/tough skills....our skill levels and equipment help to increase the chance that they will react positively to our interview styles.

There is a skill, Judge of Character, that will reveal these numbers to you, but as a young detective, there are many other, more important skills to focus on.

While equipment helps, getting your advanced skills will be the biggest advantage you have improving your success with the people of Sleuth.

Hope that helps, and I might even find a thread or two later for you to link back to....

Thank you very much. =) I actually do have the Judge of Character skill, lol. Wondering if I should have gotten other ones first. Right now I have Flirting, Sweet Talking, Judge of Character, Interrogation and Rule Bending. And that Jade Bracelet. Your explanation makes sense, though so thank you. I was wondering what the 2 meant exactly. So increasing my chances by 2 makes sense.

*found a thread on JOC and drops it in the room just in case anyone else wants to look*

Well, with that list up there on your skills, I'd stick with the charming skills from now on...leave the tough skills alone..basic thread and basic hair might be recommended to so that you can find that evidence at the scene on a regular basis....
