	Appropriate Roleplaying
			==Appropriate Roleplaying==
	Some skills require appropriate roleplaying. This means that you should act out doing something appropriate to the effect of the skill - for example, with the Field Medicine trait, you can restore a ruined limb with appropriate roleplaying. Examples might include acting out a healing magic spell that you know, tying bandages around the affected limb, or breaking and re-setting the bone. If you’re doing an effect requiring appropriate roleplaying on a willing target, they are expected to follow your lead as long as doing so isn’t an issue for them.
