2. A Complimentary Skill Check represents how being good at one thing impacts another. You might not roll Language (Italian) to bribe the Biotechnica door guard BUT Language (Italian) can be a great Complimentary Skill for your Bribery Check.

3. Complimentary Skill Checks mean one Character can help another! When the Nomad's car breaks down, the Tech might be making the main Land Vehicle Tech Check but the Nomad can give a +1 bonus with their own Check!

4. Complimentary Skill Checks make a lot of Skills incredibly useful. Most social interactions can benefit from a complimentary Wardrobe & Style or Personal Grooming Check and Business helps with that Tactics Check to figure out how Corp security might respond to your attack. 4/
5. Complimentary Skills provide flavor! They transform a Check from "I'm rolling Melee Weapons" to "I'm considering the best place to stab based on the armor my opponent wears so I'll roll Melee Weapons, complimented by Weaponstech." Flavor makes every RP better!
