===Actions=== * '''Overcome:'''You don’t really use Empathy to overcome obstacles directly—normally, you find out some information with it, and then use another skill to act. In some cases, though, you might use Empathy like you would Notice, to see if you catch a change in someone’s attitude or intent. Empathy is the main skill you use to help others recover from consequences that are mental in nature, as well. * '''Advantage:'''You can use Empathy to read a person’s emotional state and get a general sense of who they are, presuming you have some kind of interpersonal contact with them. Most often, you’ll use this to assess the aspects on another character’s sheet, but sometimes you’ll also be able to create new aspects, especially on NPCs. If the target has some reason to be aware that you’re trying to read them, they can oppose with Deceive or Rapport. * '''Discover:'''When it comes to sussing out a person, Empathy is your main skill. Like Notice, this is an observational skill. It’s passive and you won’t use it to directly do something to another. However, you can use it to reveal clues and create advantages that will help Rapport, Provoke and Deceive rolls. * '''Sample Questions:''' ** How does this person feel about this event/situation/other person? ** Who seems to be in charge of this group of people? ** Who seems not to fit in?
