When you examine a target you ask a question about it that is answered with a one-word response on a success. You might get no answer instead of a one-word response if your inquiry doesn't make sense for the target. For example, if you asked "Who is their best friend?" but the target has no best friend, you'd get no information even on a success. On a critical success, you would indeed surmise that they have no best friend and can get up to 10 words in response.


You can analyze vulnerabilities, resistances, immunities, etc. based on the skill you use.
