	Skit are [[Deceit Stunts (Action)\|interaction stunts]], using opposed [[Charm (Action)\|Charm skill]] rolls to try and trick onlookers into believing in them. A well thought out Skit can often get a hefty situation bonus, and all who see the Skit can be fooled by a single use; make a separate roll against each potential target. What the Skit is trying to achieve might not be relevant to all onlookers, some may simply not be interested and the [[Charm (Action)\|Charm skill]] roll penalized accordingly or simply skipped as irrelevant.		Skit are effectively [[Deceit Stunts (Action)\|interaction stunts]], using opposed [[Charm (Action)\|Charm skill]] rolls to try and trick onlookers into believing in them.

	In combat, a Skit can fool people, making them waste shots or suffer setbacks, but it does not create a target or attacker. A Setback might make targets may believe they are being attacked or attacking a target and act appropriately, but that is ~~a part of~~ the setback, not of the skit power.

	You can send false sensory signals to a subject's mind. The subject sees, hears, smells, feels or tastes something that isn't there. The ~~nature~~ of the phantasm is entirely up to you, but a believable phantasm is generally more effective. The target, and only the target, can interact with the phantasm, and it behaves as an unnamed character or normal object would.		You can send false sensory signals to a subject's mind.
