More often, Marvin the Skizzy Android will trick the stupid battle-trak into shooting the floor out from under himself. When a verbal conflict occurs, don't bother to keep track of rounds, just Comments.Making a Comment:Whenever a character makes a Comment, they make a Verbal  Attack Roll. Roll 1d20 + 1/3rd (round up) their ranks in Bluff, Diplomacy, or Intimidate (whichever is more appropriate) + your Intelligence or Charisma modifier (again, whichever is more appropriate). If the result is higher than 10 + 1/2 target's level + the target's Wisdom modifier, they deal Sanity. If hte character making the comment has no Verbal Proficiency feats, their Comment roll suffers a -4 penalty.Dealing Sanity DamageWhenever a character rolls a succesful Comment, they deal Sanity Damage. The amount of damage you deal depends on the highest Verbal Proficiency feat that you have:None: 1 + Cha or Int modifier (whichever is more appropriate)Dagger: 1d4 + Cha or Int modifier (whichever is more appropriate)Sword: 1d8 + Cha or Int modifier (whichever is more appropriate)Scythe: 1d12 + Cha or Int modifier (whichever is more appropriate)Recieving a CommentWhenever a character takes Sanity because of a Comment, they lose their opponent's Sanity Damage roll in Sanity. Characters start off with Sanity equal to their Wisdom score. When a character reaches 0 Sanity, they are forced to do something really stupid. They are also forced to do something really stupid every time they are dealt Sanity Damage after they have reached Sanity 0. For example, the elevator has driven Zaphod over the line. Zaphod asks Marvin to talk about his relationships with other sentient creatures. (If you've ever read Hitchhiker, you'l know just how stupid this was.Sanity Damage from SituationsWhenever characters are in a really stressfull situation, they must make a Will save when they enter the situation, every 10 minutes of endurring the situation, and when they leave the situation. The DC is 9 for moderately stressful situations, 14 for stressfull situations, 19 for very stressfull situations, and 24 for mindbendingly stressfull situations. If the save is failed, characters take Sanity Damage as shown below:Moderately Stressfull: 1d4Stressfull: 1d8Very Stressfull: 1d12Mindbendingly Stressfull: 2d8Five new feats:Sane[General]You are a stabile, normal personality.Benefit: You gain +3 Sanity.Special: You may take this feat more than once.
