[QUOTE="killem2, post: 6132094, member: 6694697"] We use: [URL="http://www.giantitp.com/articles/jFppYwv7OUkegKhONNF.html"][B]The Old Rule[/B][/URL] She feels like she cannot RP this petal psion she has with a massive diplomacy skill of 29, because she would like to know how she harnesses the power of this skill, she loves the concept of this cute petal that has an amazing ability to talk down people and converse her way through actions. Well I asked her what frustrates her about this skill: (and I quote) "That its not clear when it will work." "That I can't just sway and talk pretty and roll." "I have to have leverage or something to get what I want and its annoying cause I know nothing about 95 % of races and classes to know what to offer. Like the dragon for example. We killed her baby." [SIZE="6"][[/SIZE][B][I]for background we did kill a medium dragon that was the baby of a Huge White Dragon and it came for us. We killed it, but before we even got into the fighting, she wants to know if diplomacy could have helped and how?[/I][/B][SIZE="6"]][/SIZE] "I wanted to talk thru my psi crystal to her until I knew she wouldn't eat me off the bat and sway her it wasn't our fault but she knew." "But I had nothing to offer" "the mentalist, that's who want her to be like patrick jayne" What would you say to this frustrated player? How can we help her? [/QUOTE]
