The description of the merchant skill says "If you know Merchant at any level, you get +1 on reaction rolls when buying or selling" (Adventurers, p. 83). When you're trying to sell loot, you can try to make a reaction roll to boost your wealth level as described under "For you, a special price!", Exploits, p. 16. This rule specifically says that you should "add any bonuses for the hero's Appearance and Charisma" but makes no mention of the merchant skill.

If a delver has the merchant skill, should they get an additional +1? Or is that bonus for general reactions with a merchant? (Though it seems to only apply when buying or selling, so that doesn't seem right.) This confused us at our table because the write-up specifically calls for only two potential reaction bonuses.
