[QUOTE="nomotog, post: 6724069, member: 6691958"] I thought a little about this, but don't really have much other then some random ability ideas. The thought with strings is that you get them on different people and can pull them by making a cha check. I you pass the check then they do something beneficial for you, but if you fail then you lose the string. Leverage: By stealing something secret or valuable, you gain leverage over someone. You have a string on whoever you took from so long as you keep what you took. They also hate you now too. Unexpected allies: If your in a scene, where you have no friends, you can pick one other person who is also friendless. Your friends now you each take a string on each other. Duel: You can challenge someone to a duel of honor. If they decline, then they aren't viewed as honorable by anyone who knows about it. If you fight and win, you get a string on them. If you lose the duel, then they get a string on you. Spy net: You can pull a string you have on someone in order learn all they know about a subject. Patsy: When you have a string on someone, you can pull that string in order to get them to admit to a crime. Doing this brakes the string. Spell share: When you have a strong on another wizard, the you can cast spells from their spell book. Thumb wiggling: When someone has a string on you, you gain an advantage on stealth and deception skill checks when used on them. Animal empathy: You can gain strings on animals. Posy: You can pull a string in order to gain a copy of string they have on someone else. faith and community: When you first meet someone who worships the same deity as you, then you each gain a string on each other. That is what I have for now anyway. I am still brainstorming it though. It's kind of easy to think of actions and abilities that would give strings, but hard to think of benefits from strings. I think the system needs a generalized benefit. I am trying to think what the different classes can do. Like levrage is a rouges ability. Duel is a warrior or paladin like ability. [/QUOTE]
