[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8156943, member: 29398"] Agreed. In my own defense the "hit rate" is generally quite low in my games if the PCs just talk to someone, but much higher if they act in that someone's interests and that someone finds out about it. Try to talk the King into going into hiding to thwart an assassination attempt? Good luck with that, he's likely to run you out of his court. Save the King by busting up said assassination attempt? You're his friend for life. An old campaign of mine had, in a much more detailed and long-winded manner, pretty much just this sequence take place: the PCs learned there'd be an attempt against the King, but when they tried to warn him and get him to hide he told them - rather bluntly - to shove off before he threw them in jail. So they made arrangements to try and bust up the attempt when it occurred, and after many complications were ultimately successful. The King learned of this. Lavish rewards all round! :) [/QUOTE]
