[QUOTE="Coldwyn, post: 5193605, member: 10041"] Ok, I´m impressed. That´s a level of detail I would more or less gloss over. Understood and accepted. Not my preferred method because it´s not relevant to the kind of games I run but interesting nonetheless. I´ll answer these two together. Please have a bit of patience with me, directly translating my thoughts into English is not my strong point ;) So, I think neither stats nor rule0 should really be used, no matter what edition. I don´t think these can really portrait a complex person. Stats, no matter how they have been generated, should only come up in combat. Having said this, IMO interacting with an important NPC like the queen should be broken down into tasks, with DCs tailored to the situation. Does she respond well to flattery?
