[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 9663203, member: 6915329"] Was Hobbiton a city? Yes, I know he was some sort of landed gentry or whatnot. The point still stands. Did you? Did you choose on your own, or because or what the dice said? I have. Several times. There's not a thing in there that seems cold-blooded. Yes, you're proving my point here. The innkeeper was rightfully angry about being robbed by someone who had lied to his face about wanting a job, and it's entirely possible that he also realized that she used mind-control on him. He [I]did [/I]see her muttering strange words, after all. I'm given to understand that BW is [I]not [/I]a game where PCs gain scores of hit points and combat abilities out the wazoo while innkeepers are 0th-level commoners. As it is, it appears that if there hadn't been penalties due to poor lighting, he would have been [I]almost [/I]as good a fighter as Alicia was (he had 3 dice, she had 4).[I] [/I]And while I haven't bothered to read if that's a lot of dice in this system, I [I]did[/I] see[I] [/I]that you said that her player really likes giving his characters martial arts, so I imagine she's at least a competent pugilist and maybe even a very good one.
