Party Leader and Skills

[Panchira Joey]

I can't seem to find anywhere in the manual exactly what the party leader is responsible for and what they aren't. For example, during an interaction if I need to use Streetwise should I make my best Streetwise character the leader or does it automatically use the highest score from anyone?

I ask because I mostly play on my tablet which can't utilise the ctrl+click to change the party leader, so I need to do it the long way around and I don't want to have to keep doing it if its unnecessary.

I think it's like this (incomplete attempt, based on hundreds of hours of gaming):

The game bases the odds on the strongest character in the case of:
Perception and woodwise stuff in the country.
Finding the Alchemist in Guilds district
Getting access at University and Monastery
Using religious knowledge to destroy pagan shrine
Chasing away wolves (etc.)

The game takes the party leader in case of:
Bartering (Charisma)
Talking your way out of stuff (speak common, Charisma)
Talking to Alchemist (exchanging formulae: the formula goes to the current leader, which is often not the party's alchemy expert)

Thanks, that is actually matching up with what I'm starting to see. Good to know I don't have to keep switching leader outside of town!
