Inquiry Action: Casting

Characters use the Inquiry action to ask questions and get information from willing sources. The better their success, the more information they receive.

Inquiry uses a cumulative Casting action. The character taking the action doesn’t have a break for success or failure, just a degree of success based on how high they can roll.

Social situations outside of round-based actions is typically when Inquiry is used. As such the Game Master may elect to use player turns to cycle through multiple characters asking questions.
