Requires a Skill Roll

[OzMike]

Hi Steve, long time listener, first time caller (well, not exactly but... )

 

In the FAQ it states (paraphrasing) that if a character has a required skill roll limitatation on a power that they do not get the benefits of the skill when they activate the power, only the benefits power.

 

My question is this and was in part inspired by the Invisible skills questions you've been fielding recently:

 

Is the use of the skill/skill roll as a part of the activation 'visible'?

 

In other words, can people tell that that those DCV levels are being performed using Acrobatics, or that the Invisible Conversation Skill (Telepathy requires a Conversation roll) uses the actual Conversation skill, or that the extra PRE only for positive PRE attacks comes from the successful use of the Oratory skill?

Generally yes, other characters can tell that the character is using a power “skillfully” or as a manifestation of his skilled ability, though the GM’s free to rule otherwise if that seems appropriate.
