Gather Information is a versatile skill which may be utilized while interacting with individuals or groups of people (such as the patrons of a tavern). Characters must declare what information they are searching for before attempting the skill roll. Generally, the more successes on a Gather Information skill check, the more specific/relevant information the character is able to accumulate.
The number of successes needed to gather any information is almost always up to the Storyteller's discretion. General guidelines to use:
| Successes | Information Gathered |
|---|---|
| Critical Failure | You find information that is plainly incorrect or irrelevant, and accept it as fact. |
| Failure | You don't find any of the information you're looking for. |
| 1 | You gain basic information about the topic you chose to gather information on. |
| 3 | A particularly nice rumor or two regarding your search has come your way. |
| 5+ | Due to a stroke of luck as well as your knowledge of who and how to ask, you have found exactly what you're looking for. |
