[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7595476, member: 22779"] Well, that depends on the DC no? Whether Easy, Moderate, Difficult or Hard. They will fail Moderate checks 50% of the time and Moderate checks are typically run of the mill, every day sort of checks. Nothing too outlandish. Convincing your professor to give you an extension on your essay sort of checks. :D But, we're talking a fairly difficult task - a not sympathetic NPC who doesn't really want to help you and doesn't believe you. So, DC 15, likely. Meaning that our 0 bonus character fails 75% of the time (or thereabouts). 1 in 4 is not exactly great odds. Not impossible sure, but, far more likely to fail. Thus, our zero bonus character is sticking his foot in it about three times more often in the clutch than succeeding. Or, to put it another way, this guy is terrible at convincing anyone to do anything. [/QUOTE]
