[QUOTE="JustKim, post: 5528561, member: 5478"] I have a rules question about one of the powers Essentials mages get, Suggestion. Here's the text: [b]Trigger:[/b] You make a Diplomacy check. [b]Effect:[/b] You make an Arcana check instead, using that result to determine the outcome of the Diplomacy check. When I looked at this, I thought it was probably useless to me, since my Diplomacy is much higher than my Arcana. But someone else said it might be intended as a second chance ability- if you roll Diplomacy and don't like the result, you can ignore it and roll Arcana instead. I can't tell if it is or not. It doesn't really follow the language for second chance abilities, but "you make a diplomacy check" implies to me that you've rolled the dice. So how does this work? Does it give me a reroll, or do you only use your Arcana modifier in lieu of ever making the Diplomacy roll? [/QUOTE]
