Skills use

Skills that effect another persons judgement can only be used once per person per day (regardless if they pass or fail). Example: If you fail to persuade/intimidate someone you cannot re-try until you are successful (unless a benny or trait allows a re-do). The target knows your tricks and cannot be duped. This goes for NPC vs PC’s also.
Also you cannot add to any success with another attempt to improve. Example: You succeed to persuade someone from uncooperative to neutral. You cannot roll again the same day for the same person to increase their mood from neutral to friendly. However they will remain at the same level towards you the next time you meet (unless something happens to upset them) so you may increase the mood then.

For the following skills.

• Intimidation
• Persuasion

Skill Specializations
