Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Gesture and Lip Reading
A related question is the line between Acting and Gesture. At what point are you making yourself understood by acting out a scene, rather than conveying meaning through Gesture?
As far as I can tell, Gesture is the only skill that is useful under the RAW for communicating with someone who does not share any mutually comprehensible language. As such, it should figure prominently in first-contact templates, whether scouts, merchant explorers, or anthropologists.
