Just sharing Jedi Mind Trick lots of fun

[Lodow MoBo]

My Bard's primary perform is Oratory. This makes the facinate and suggestion abilities lots of fun. This is especially turn for other player character interactions.

When my character wants to win an argument, its rare that he loses. Especially in the weak will group he travels in.

Last session I explained to the wizard that he should walk and allow me to ride his horse. Mainly because he needed exercise, or his magical arts could suffer.

Isn't that sort of like a rogue using slight of hand to snitch those nifty Potions, Scrolls, Wands, and smaller Wondrous items from the other party members?

Also, don't you have a limited number of uses of that each day, that you are spending on ... what, flavor?

Further, what are the in-character reactions going to be when the other characters realize they are being enchanted?

 

[Lodow MoBo]

Well I have lvl plus four. uses so at 7th lvl i have 11 uses. We spend more than half the session role playing. And you know there is nothing more satisfying than telling another player to make a will save. Its all in fun. I have yet to get a chance to do the whole "these are not the driods you are looking for."

First off you need a reasonable sense motive roll to notice DC 25.

I have fail once or twice. But its in Louis nature. His race is homebrew similar to elf. But you pick a fey, who your bloodline was mixed with. So Louis has a bit of saytr in him. He simply claims that he has no control over it.

You only need a mild sense-motive modifier if it is happening all the time - 3 ranks in sense motive, a wisdom score of 14, and you notice 5% of the compulsions (roll of 20 makes DC 25). If a Paladin with Wisdom 14 (so he will be able to cast his highest level spells when he gets them) has, say, 5 ranks in Sense Motive (he was going for Diplomacy - took it for the synergy) that's 15% noticed (18, 19, 20) - 3 in 20, a little over 1 in 7. If you are planting suggestions two or three times a day, before the week is out chances are the Paladin has noticed something.

Like I said he has been caught, its just he's very forgivable.

We spend more than half the session role playing.

What are you doing in the other half?

And you know there is nothing more satisfying than telling another player to make a will save.

Especially the mage (or even worse, the cleric).

Bye

What are you doing in the other half?

Killin' stuff

You don't need to use Sense Motive... One of the other casters just needs to make a spellcraft check to notice it being used. He should have been busted the first or second time he tried it.

I'm not sure why everyone is attacking this -- it sounds rather fun.

I'd try it myself, except my bard has perform (chanting in infernal) ...

people*might* be a *liiittle* more prone to notice.

Sounds cool though. Fits the character. And yeah, if he ever gets caught -- fun!
