Let's say I take the " Now You See Me " action which requires a Hard Deception check. If I have the Control upgrade from the Influence Force Power, can I also add my Force Rating to that Deception Check even if both are Force related ?

the way I read it is YES!, you are making a check in one of the skills influecnce covers.

It seems like this would be allowed.

Thanks.... that's what I thought.

Yeah, the upgrade just says when you roll those particularly skills, not in what context you use them.

Well, that makes a character with Influence and Scathing Tirade a lot more formidable
