I just picked up Stress Detection, and I'm a little concerned how it *knows* that you've only got one question left? I always thought that it was a crapshoot that was determined when you asked the question (unless you were still above 100% chance).

Did it always already know the last question beforehand, but it just doesn't tell you unless you have stress detection skill? Or does the skill alter where the chance is determined?

Tough or Charming as part ofyour archtype is just how your detective starts out Lil.

You always use either Tough or Charming skills to questions suspects.

Rule Bending and Sweet talking are the charm side.

Interrogation and Itimidation are the tough side.

The smart skills such as hair analysis help you at the crime scene to find and identify things, but you will need to be either tough or charming when questioning suspects and townies.

I'd add that tough, smart and charming in your archtype only affect how many points you pay for a skill, not how well you use them. A detective who is very smart will pay max skill points for both charm and tough skills, but will get a double discount on smart skills.

Once you have the skill, however, all archtypes use it the same, and its only affected by gear you wear.
