====Tailor Clues to the Characters==== The clues are there for the characters to find, so make sure that it make senses for them to be discovered and understood. Look at characters’ aspects, stunts, and resources to guide you when deciding which clues to use. If none of the characters have experience with medicine, then a clue that requires medical knowledge would not make sense. If you are going to use clues that lie outside of your characters’ area of knowledge, make sure that you have other options for the characters, such as expert NPCs or devices that can get them the information they need. Options like this should be obvious; reveal them in previous scenes. An NPC may make a point of telling the characters that they have the right skills in a previous scene. Maybe a previous investigation already revealed the capabilities of the D’ni device the character found.
