i used judge of... skill and saw some1 is better to b tough with. by mistake i clicked on sweet talking. the suspect did answer me.
so, my question is how exact is this skill? could it tell me to use something and be wrong, or even misleading? or is it that with tough i had more chance, but charm may work as well?

I see your point.

Although, it still could be misleading, because it might say their base vulnerability to charm skills is higher (less resistant), but depending on your available skills and equipment, there might be no circumstances where your detective could be more effective using the charm skill than if they just used a toughness skill.

I think I'll change it to be more explicit. Maybe add some parenthesis spelling out the numbers.

So, does judge of character still indicate base chance? or does it now take into account equipment and skills?
I'm asking because I am on the charm side, and it seems I'm not benefiting much from using judge of character. I find I'm doing better if I just go for sweet talking every time.

Still just base chance. Meaning Judge of Character is really only useful if you have the same level of skill in the two appropriate skills.

For instance, if you have both Intermediate Sweet Talking and Intermediate Interrogation, and you equipment isn't too out of balance towards either Charm or Toughess, then Judge of Character can be quite helpful.

But, if you have Advanced Sweet Talking and only the first level of interrogation, you are probably better off going with Sweet Talking every time.

I want to change that so Judge of Character give more useful feedback, but that change is probably stil a couple of weeks away.

what i'm doing now is 1st check which way i should go with a suspect or witness and then jump to the agency change to the right gear and go back to Q them. it is usually very helpfull exept when ur suspects decides to die while u r in the changing room.
