[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5922775, member: 22779"] Why would the Le Shay even bother with the president? He has a gaze charm effect out to 30 feet. And a diplomacy of +77. That means that anyone he has charmed is, the next round (even the -10 on the check for doing it in one round is still an autosucceed), forever a fanatical follower of his to the point where they are willing to sacrifice their own lives for him. This is a non-magical effect. Heck, anyone that can hear him might be affected, but, 95% of people within 30 feet of him are automatically affected. So, if he's smart, he walks down major streets in large urban centers for ten minutes, teleports to the next city and repeats. Thousands of fanantical followers are created virtually instantly in every urban center on the planet. Nuclear attack? Nuke who? He's miles gone every ten minutes. You'd have to be willing to destroy your own cities to pull that off. Talk about the zombie appocolypse. And, the worst part is, once he's visited the major urban centers, all he has to do is repeat. Start going through major urban centers again and create thousands more followers. No modern government could survive revolt of tens of thousands of its own people starting within a week. When he's done, he picks up the pieces and crowns himself king. Heck, DC 50 Bluff check (he's got +77) allows him to instill a Suggestion on anyone that can hear him. Imagine the damage he could do with a radio transmitter. Or, teleport onto a live broadcast stage. Now his Diplomacy reaches millions of people. Imagine the effect of teleporting into a live showing of the Super Bowl and talking for 6 seconds. A 77, (average check with the -10 for hurrying) means everyone listening is now helpful. Even those that started out hostile are now helpful. In six seconds. [/QUOTE]
