                          I've long been a proponent of this effect. It greatly increases the
                          sense of RP someone gets, which I think is more likely to stimulate
                          someone into actually playing their character the way they should.
                          Do an archive search for my "rain man" effect for a more detailed
                          description.
                          
                          But I like the example above, because it allows for a lot of intrigue.
                          You have to take other people's words on what they see. For example,
                          the mage above could look at it and say, "Oh, that's a pretty nice
                          looking sword", and the warrior could look at it and realize not
                          only is it a "nice" sword, but it's actually of incredible craftsmanship
                          and would sell for a huge sum of money. But of course, he doesn't
                          have to tell the mage that - he could say, "Oh yeah, it's pretty good.
                          I'll take it back to town and sell it there, we'll probably get a
                          few hundred gold for it" (when in truth he knows it will sell for
                          at least several thousand).
                          Vice-versa, the warrior could find what looks like a worthless piece
                          of semi-precious gemstone, but the mage could realize that it was some
                          sort of powerful magic artifact and pull the same trick.
