Name	Diplomat’s Insight
Cost	6 points
Prerequisites	Intuition
Key Words	Archetype / Scout / Twice per day
Description	This skill requires the character to engage in negotiation with the subject for at least two minutes. After that time, the player may ask the subject which is the most important of the topics discussed to them. Example Serena the Wise has been negotiating a peace with the Imperial ambassador, during which they have been discussing access to deep sea ports, disarmament, religious freedom and return of hostages. Serena uses her Diplomat's Insight skill, asking the NPC which of these things is most important to him. The NPC admits that he's most concerned to have the hostages returned (although in discussions he had been treating that as a trifling concern). The subject does not know that this skill has been used, unless they have a special ability that lets them know (the question and answer themselves take place out of character). Note that this ability may be foiled by the skill Subterfuge. See Information Gathering for more on information-gathering skills.
Progression	Friendly Face, Silver Tongue
