So, this is right at the end of our timeframe. But I feel like the flavor of it is nice to have. I don't know if we've intended to apply this or not, but I am trying to heal an ogre at the moment and failing constantly with GM healing, so I assume it's checking my Veterinary skill.

Monsters aren't criminals by default, just "attack-able"
