[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4911194, member: 71571"] Particularily unfavorable circumstances won't include character class so much. Part of having a skill is knowing how to overcome apparent shortcomings. However, if the player -uses- their class and roleplays out in such away that it becomes applicable, then yes, you would. So the goblin might be afraid of those that make deals with demons. If the warlock convinces the goblin that he is 'not like those guys' then he'd get a positive modifier. If he instead tries to use his power to conjole the goblin in a way he does not like, that'd be a negative modifier. Class should not determine circumstances, or else 'A Wizard Did It' becomes an excuse to give certain favored powersources a modifier for no other reason than they won the 'Pick a Class' lottery. However, if they roleplay out their capabilities in a way that affects the encounter, -that- is when circumstance bonuses are called for. [/QUOTE]
