Dawnforge Campaign - The True Kings - Calling my Active Players!

OK, Path added. I somehow lost his Fighter skills in the re-write, so added those as well. HP bonus changed. Its funny what rules can remain under the radar. I don't tend to add stat increases to con much, obviously.



Would you argue with this guy?

No worries

As for the ogre, I might not argue with him, but if I didn't that would clearly be an Intimidate, not Diplomacy. I would totally be cool with him using Intimidate to oppose me and using Path of the Mighty to make it use Strength

I have determined I must find this book so I can sign up as an alternate

doghead and Ferrix don't have it either, Bront I'll help you make an alt. Go back a few pages to find the list of races, and find one that looks cool. I can gmail or trillian you the details of any abilities.

And for the record, it is 2 books, not just one

So when two diplomats go to the table to discuss where to place the borderline between two kingdoms in disputed territory, the 24 Charisma character who can sway masses with his mere words and has a legendarily powerful personality loses out to the Int 4 Charisma 4 Ogre with 40 Strength and Path of the Mighty?

Yep, as if he doesn't agree with the Ogre, the Ogre rips his head off.

 

[Bront]

Which 2? And I'll probably take you up on that.

This is true. One is hardly likely to go away feeling more friendly towards the ogre as a result, which is the result of a successful Dipl check.

Bah, that's Intimidate I say!

Bront,

Tailspinner's character/race primer can be found in this post.

thotd

They are Dawnforge Crucible of Legend (the main big hardback) and Age of Legend (a little softback full of crunch goodies for each race and some new ones besides). Both excellent books from FFG. Isn't FFG having a sale, or is that over? If they are still having a clearance sale, you may be able to get these for a really great price (like $5 each).

Sure, let me know--and hey, if you make a healing character, maybe we could plead until the healer gets to come along too (no healing == )

 

[Bront]

I didn't see them on sale, but I'll check. E-mail sent

No, that's the Ogre using an Intimidate check to aid his Diplomacy check. Anyway that charisma guy sucks, as the Ogre only gains +6 strength from his racial stuff, and probably hasn't taken Diplomacy.

Anyway to get back to the original question, it's his legendary feats of strength which make people respect him and ask for his opinion. Which is where the change from Cha to Str in Diplomacy comes into play, as the words of a legend carry weight.
