[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 7295027, member: 6775031"] That can't possibly be right. If you have the Folk Hero background, or you at least (for the purposes of this discussion) have the Rustic Hospitality Feature from the Folk Hero Background, then it says you can find a place to hide/rest among commoners and that they won't turn you over to the authorities unless you are a danger to them. That's an RP guideline for the DM. The players [I]can't[/I] invoke the power and cause it to be so, because it involves the actions of other characters, and the DM is the only one who determines how NPCs act in any situation. That is part of what it means to be the DM, rather than a player. If your character walks up to some commoners and asks for shelter, the DM is entirely within their rights to have them deny your request, based on the nature of who they are and how they feel about you - or any reason at all, really.
