'''Guile''' is a [[General Ability]] that represents various forms of deception: the ability to lie, certainly, but also the ability to disguise one's self, bluff, or feign emotion. Guile is usually used in an [[Opposed Roll]], with the intended target of the deception rolling [[Perception]] + [[Folk Ken]] (or some other [[Ability]], if the [[Storyguide]] feels another Ability is more appropriate for the situation). =References * Guile Ability: [[ArM5]], page 65 =Commentary If a player rolls a zero on a Guile [[Stress Die]], the Storyguide may want to roll the botch dice in secret, so the player won't immediately know whether he botched or not. That way, there is room for doubt whether the intended target fell for the deception anyway, or saw through it and concealed his response.
