'''Check:''' An evening's time, a few money for buying drinks and making friends (Purchase level 4), and a DC 10 Gather Information check get you a general idea of a city's major news items, assuming there are no obvious reasons why the information would be withheld. The higher your check result, the better the information.

If you want to find out about a specific rumor, or a specific item, or obtain a map, or do something else along those lines, the DC for the check is 15 to 25, or even higher.

'''Total Success:''' You get another useful piece of information for each rank of Total Success.

'''Total Failure:''' The information you gather is false. The higher the rank of Total failure, the farther from the truth the false information is.

'''Action:''' Time to gather information depends on the DC.

'''Try Again:''' Yes, but it takes time for each check. Furthermore, you may draw attention to yourself if you repeatedly pursue a certain type of information.
