Etiquette: Characters with this skill are familiar with the typical manners of formal interaction—at least as they relate to the culture in the campaign world. They know what fanfares are required to greet royal visitors, how to seat the lords and ladies at a table, how to organize the reception line, and how everyone is to be addressed. None of these tasks require a proficiency check.

When dealing with a foreign or completely unknown culture, the characters must pass proficiency checks to correctly gauge the required etiquette. The check should be modified—+2 if the foreigners are the same race as the character, +1 or more if the character has had some time to observe the foreigners.

Characters with the empathy trait gain a +2 bonus to their rating with this proficiency.
