Innuendo - sucks to be a PC!

[Psion]

For the innuendo/sense motive skill check, there is a provision for the GC to spend an action dice to give an NPC in the line of sight an innuendo check to notice the message.

But there's no provision for PCs to notice innuendo between NPCs.

How would you handle that?

[Crafty_Alex]

In order for a message to be conveyed and understood, the character sending it and each characters to receive itmust make an Innuendo check against the same DC and with the same error range, as shown on Table 2.42: Innuendo Checks."

The provision is there so that an NPC can intercept the message, since not everyone in a room should be making a check every time this check is made

Right...

But how does a PC intercept a message if not an intended recipient?

[Gatac]

I'd wager he just acts as a recipient.

I'd wager he just acts as a recipient.

I'd consider that generous.

Well, first of all I'd say it'd take a spot or notice check to even see that they are communicating using innuendo. Once that's done, they can act as recipient normally.

That's along the lines of what I was thinking (behaves similar to conceal action), but would be mechanically different from the existing convention with NPCs.

That's probably how I'd handle it as well.
