If this was freeform, I would have had to decided whether the captain sees through the lie or not and it would all have been very difficult because I wouldn't want to come over as being all-powerful, all-seeing and stuff. In a system game, I just roll the dice and, well,<em>roll</em>with the results. Of course, there is still some leeway but I immediately had a plot hook to explain why the captain didn't see it (being distracted, as dictated by 2 successes and 2 ones).<br/><br/>Satan_Klaus<br/><br/><br/>PS: Don't get Lance's hopes up too high. With a total dice pool in lying (manipulation+subterfuge) of<em>1</em>, someone will take him to task sooner or later.<br/>
