[QUOTE="Trainz, post: 1257617, member: 2122"] A friend of mine on a mailing list had this question: =============================================== [size=2]"Advise please - in 3.x, can Diplomacy be used by one PC to cause another PC to do what they want? In the online game I started playing in today, a one-off character with a Cha of 20 (though she wasn't being played like it - a thorough-going little princess-complex she had) *obliged* my character by force of "persuasion" to get someone to carry her because she said she was tired. I'm not aware that an exceptionally high Charisma is licence to behave like a bitch and still mysteriously have people want to do what you say anyway - esp. not PCs. Aside from the words "others (non-player characters)" in the 3.5 Diplomacy description, is there somewhere where it states clearly that PCs can't be coerced in this way? Thought it was expressed more clearly somewhere - perhaps in the DMG? (Mine has temporarily grown legs, seeing I've had no use for it for so long.) Your views?" ============================================= Can you guys give feedback on this with page references please ? [/size] [/QUOTE]
