Newb Question - Location Skill Checks

By trekkermj, in Battlestar Galactica

Newb question I know... Be kind.

On Location Skill Checks, does only the character at the location and activating it contribute to the skill check? I know the destiny deck throws two cards in, but does everyone else contribute or is it just the person activating the site? Let me know.

Love the game.

Thanks!

When a character activates a location they are essentially creating a normal skill check. Everyone contributes cards as normal, can play skill check modifiers (investigative committee, scientific research, etc) and destiny kicks in- in addition to normal restrictions via the Brig or whatever. This is done as an action. This is why it is very, very hard to get out of the brig if no one wants you out.

Hope that helps.

Is the brig character limited to one card still?

Yes.

Which makes it very hard for them to get out of the brig by them selves mind you.
