Interest in Oriental Adventures PbP?

[Rhialto]

Trust me, from personal experience--people tend to give away a lot more than they THINK they do in conversations, sometimes from simple changes of expression. That's how mentalists are able operate at all.

As for no flash on the face--seeing as he's a from a rather sheltered upbringing and has no ranks in Bluff, I rather doubt that.

1 I`m going more on his diplomacy, royalty/Nobility(Etiquette).
I wouldn`t be good manners to let somebody so uneducated get his feelings.

...

To make this clear, this isn't some one-upmanship thing. I've no doubt your character picked up on the general attitude Chou expressed in his post as well. I personally think a sort of unstated, but understood personality clash would be both entertaining and in-character. If this is honestly a major bone of contention I will strike the post.

That out of the way, I believe the rules are quite clear that Bluff counters Sense Motive and Sense Motive counters Bluff. Bluff is training yourself in making your thoughts and actions to appear other than what they are--Diplomacy is more the ability to gain a favorable position/attitude through politeness and well-turned arguments, while Profession: Courtier would be more an inside knowledge of how the rituals of the court work...

I wanted only to make a clear a misunderstanding, I get it that Chou get an impression of his true attitude or feelings, not unlikely from Arishan`s words, or more exactly from what he not said.

 

[Rhialto]

Well, I'm glad we sorted things out. Sorry for any misunderstanding I inadvertantly caused.

Hi.

Unless someone wants to continue talking about the plans, I'll be assuming that you start out on your journey as planned tomorrow. Or do you want to wait for sword-dancer to be able to join in again?
I'm sorry, i'm kinda new to gming a PbP-game.

Cheers, Ariakor

Proceed! Usually, when players are absent, their characters become NPCs until their return. A full week is too long an interruption.

 

[Rhialto]

Agreed. Anyway, it's likely it will take us a week to get to anything important...
