	Once a character hits +3 in a skill, they choose a subfield of that skill, and they get more subfields when they hit +6 and +9. When making a check with the skill that directly relates to the chosen subfield, they get an extra +2 to the check. If multiple subfields for the skill apply, they still only get +2.

In this case, both characters use the most appropriate skill, like [[Arcana]] or [[People]], in place of [[Insight]] and [[Bluff]]. A character who tries evaluating a statement one way cannot attempt to also evaluate it with the other.
