[QUOTE="Halford, post: 4428638, member: 64844"] renau1g: Great I will post after the introduction is made, and bung my character sheet in the rogue's gallery then to. Walking Dad: Yes don't worry I'm not going to try to compel you to be friendly via a skill check, its more that its what he would do in character. Plus personally I always take diplomacy checks into account when reacting to other pcs, they don't dictate my reaction, but they do guide them to a certain extent. If for example a new PC came in and said... "I Grawtag the Slaughterer you will all follow my lead now!" And his player roles a +800 diplomacy most of my characters would still react negatively. If on the other hand a PC entered the game and said... "Alright folks my names Thespin would you mind if I tagged along with you folks." I would probably react positively, but how positively would differ, a check of 5 might get a, "Well I suppose you can tag along," whereas a 25 would probably get, "Of course, welcome to the party Thespin, care to share my trail rations?". Most of all I'm doing it because thats what the character would do, he's all about planning and prep. Theres also a rather large part of me that simply likes rolling high skill checks even if they have no mechanical effect. I'm a sad, sad, man. By the way I should be able to cover Scavenger on the steed issue, the good father's Phantom Steeds look like giant spiders - and we all know, despite grownup inclinations informing us that it is not so, that riding a giant phantom spider is just cool - yeah I said cool, I'm dated and proud!
