[QUOTE="Binder Fred, post: 5199671, member: 63746"] [sblock=Gambling]Sorry for not explaining it earlier. I figure Dejarik is a lot like chess: a complex game where you can bring your life experiences to bear instead of relying purely on luck and the wisdom of knowing when and if to bet (like, say, roulette or Blackjack). In this case, Sloor is trying to tempt Mir into using her +13 Use the Force skill to win (or at least break even in this case) -- as compared to the crushing loss she would suffer if she relied only on luck (120 creds in Sloor's favor) as represented by the pure Wis roll (?). Makes sense? This is of course entirely consensual OOC. I figure we'll be having these games more than once IC, so let's take the time to build something interresting, right? (By the by, I believe this would be the "Deceptive Information" use of Deception, a straight roll against Will defenses rather than an opposed Perception check. Don't know if that matter here or not... ;)).[/sblock] [COLOR="Plum"] "Nice trip, Sra,"[/COLOR] nods the reassured besalisk,[COLOR="Plum"] "Perticularly liked the lack awf shooting at dustawf: very well dawn." [/COLOR] ...No beat-ups for today apparently. The besalisk resumes his walk, eyes more wary then before. What the freck did she *see*? Which leaves Sloor standing there like a fool. [COLOR="Plum"]"Ah..." [/COLOR]he eloquantly states, his face is the very definition of nonplussed. [COLOR="Plum"]"They did it fawr fun?"[/COLOR] he finally manages, trying to at least get a handle on things. [COLOR="Silver"] "Very smooth,"[/COLOR] quietly compliments TB. [COLOR="Plum"]"Nawt helping!"[/COLOR] breathes its owner from the corner of his mouth. [I]«Response Ylenic?[/I] [/QUOTE]
