Is information gained in discovery personal or can it be shared.

[Nicolas Paradise]

In the influence subsystem is information gained through the discovery action strictly personal or can the player share that information with the party before the next round?

The rules don't seem to imply either way so it could go either way. If it can be shared it can certainly lead to teamwork to better influence npcs and optimize actions. Maybe even trivializing an influence encounter by stacking discoveries to learn multiple things about an npc at once and than have the best party member influence them the next round and have the remaining party members gang up to discover on the next npc, repeating until the end of the encounter maximizing results.

If the information can't be shared players really need to laser focus on npcs that they are sure they can influence as to not waste rounds.

I think I am in favor of it being sharable but at a table with powergamers maybe not allowing it.

As written I don't see a clear RAW or RAI so this is more of an opinion thread.

I think you can use common sense. With rounds in tens of minutes it all depends on the setting: do they all stand in one place in full sight or is it a party where they have a lot of opportunity to speak with each other in private? Do they have other means of communication like telepathy and other spells or sign language or lip reading?
