[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 66081, member: 1165"] Suggestions for suggestions To make a guard put down his weapon: "Your hands are cold." The guard drops the weapon. To make the lord of the castle see a ghost: "At midnight, it is said that the ghost of Lady G appears in the South Tower." At midnight, if the lord is there, he thinks he sees a ghost. It could actually be the party rogue sneaking around, or nothing. He could just stare hard while you stab him in the back, steal his gold, etc. "Leave this room and forget you ever saw this book." A 2e suggestion placed in a spellbook. "Why don't you all leave?" From a Monte Cook adventure. (Bruce added "by your most potent means of travel.") Does adding "Why don't you..." to the beginning of a suggestion make it reasonable? Even if they get a +4 bonus to their Will save? "He means to kill/harm/etc you." Kill him, get away from him, plot against him, etc. Whatever you would do if you didn't trust them. Great way to split up a king and queen, huh? "Did you notice how grating Belkins' laugh is?" The next time Belkins (a paladin) laughs, the PC thinks somthing is wrong with them.
