In negotiations, participants roll opposed Diplomacy checks, and the winner gains the advantage. Opposed checks also resolve situations when two advocates or diplomats plead opposite cases in a hearing before a third party.The two mechanics of a diplomacy check are illustrated by italics and bolding. In the first case, the Influencing NPC Attitudes sidebar is referenced, and nowhere on that sidebar is a DC+Skill Check mentioned: it only provides flat DCs for the PC to achieve. The mechanic for this is simply 1d20 + Diplomacy Modifier vs DC XX. The table will render the result of the diplomacy check.The second mechanic of this skill is an opposed roll. 1d20 + Diplomacy Modifier vs 1d20 + Diplomacy Modifier, circumstance bonuses notwithstanding. Nowhere in the opposed roll mechanic does adding a DC apply: the two rolls set the DC.The diplomacy skill has two different functions:Influence NPC attitude. Negotiate, with or without arbitration.These functions have thier own mechanics:Flat DC Opposed Roll</blockquote>
