EDIT: Fortifications and siege have now been merged into one skill.

[The Forgotten God]

Persuasion skills may be used against PCs, but for player freedom reasons the effect is less intense on them than NPCs. Prior to attempting a roll against a PC, send me a message with the desired effect and I'll send you a statement whether it would be possible, and an approximation of how difficult the roll will be.

[The Forgotten God]

Observation rolls can be requested, but I automatically roll them if there is a need, and the results are public because you don't know if you succeed or fail

Espionage: Espionage acts as a spy network rating in one's area of residence. The higher the score, the larger the network one can manage personally. 30 would be a tavern informant, 80 is a city wide spymaster. A person doesn't need any physical spying skills to use espionage, as it involves the mental aspects of the art, such as code breaking, encryption and identifying or opposing enemy spies to give false information. Espionage checked may also be used to estimate another person's skill at espionage through dialogue and tests, enabling someone to hire a spy to send to another area, to create another network. A single person may only run a single network at a time, and it takes a week of time in an area for every ten skill points of espionage to set up a network.
