[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7597652, member: 996"] Wrong. Problem: You're a fighter and there hasn't been a fight in a while, so you're bored and need to start one. STR: Pick up something large and heavy and throw it through something delicate and valuable (Yes, that's how the proverbial bull got in the china shop - a bored fighter threw him there). Failure: your action is taken as performance art, you receive a round of applause (only 6 seconds these days), and are afflicted with a level of 3.0 Bard. DEX: 'Accidentally' trip the most dangerous, ill-tempered creature that passes by (other than yourself). Failure: The creature trips & breaks it's neck, everyone's relieved that it's dead and the they throw you a party. A really boring party. CON: Plant yourself firmly in a choke point, preferably a bridge, and intone "None Shall Pass!" Failure: the choke point was the door to a wizard school final exam, and the entire graduating class casts magic missile at you. INT: Challenge a dragon to a riddle contest, when you inevitably fail, it'll try to eat you and you can finally get some sword-swinging in. Failure*: you win the riddle contest and it lets your party pass safely. WIS: Engage your party in a Socratic dialogue in which you try to convince them to take up pacifism, that should piss them off enough to get them to pick a fight with something. Failure*: your party become a bunch of pacifists. CHA: Walk into an Amazon bar and make a pass at the hottest Xena-wannabe there. Failure*: She takes you back to her place. * actually, technically, success on the check - must've rolled a 20. [/QUOTE]
