Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 5924577" data-attributes="member: 19675">Depends upon how the LeShay wants to rule the world.  If the LeShay instituted worldwide pantheism as the mandatory faith, that would cheese off a few billion people of various faiths.What if he cracked down on things like cocaine, tobacco, etc., with military force?  What if he did the same for junk food?What if he didn't like anyone darker than Asians since they reminded him of Drow, and instituted a genocide?(They can have any alignment, after all.)Some things are deeper than friendship, and the more he tries to reshape our world, the more negative modifiers he could accumulate.Instead of Tim Leary's "Turn on, Tune in, Drop out.", you'd hear "Tune out, Drop out, Arm up."How many would there be?Well, assuming every human were targetable, he'd still fail to persuade 1 in every 20.  That's about 350M worldwide.  Of course, not everyone has access to a TV.  So that might get another 50m to the total of unconvinced humanity...at least, temporarily.Diplomacy normally requires a minute of using the skill, but with its bonuses, the LeShay could usually risk thë -10 mod for doing a rushed, full round check.But sometimes, even that isn't enough time.  Just as an FYI, if the LeShay took on Obama's form, he'd never convince my Mom of anything over the airwaves- she sees his face or hears his voice, she immediately changes the channel.*  And her hearing is in decline, so she usually doesn't hear the TV so much as read it- that delay takes enough time that the Obama LeShay's words wouldn't even register.* FWIW, she's black and a registered Dem.</blockquote>
