[QUOTE="CubicsRube, post: 8564191, member: 6848185"] I've toyed around with a basic system i've yet to put into practice. Basically there are 7 levels of attitude towards the PCs a la reaction rolls (neutral and three negative and three positive). Each of these attitudes allow you to ask for certain things. So neutral might mean you can ask for information and get an honest answer. You may ask them a favour of a minor inconvenience if there's something in it for them. If you are liked, they may do that favour for free. If you are disliked you may need to succeed on a check. If you are hated they will never do you a favour or tell you information. Etc. (There's a whole table of examples). Persuasion rolls or performance in some cases are used to temporarily change attitude by one step. So if you speak to a guard who is neutral towards you then they might tell you who to speak to to get permission into the castle but they certainly won't let you in (a major risk). You have to be admired for that (2 levels up). You could try and use persuasion to get them to like you, but that's still 1 level too low. They might do something smaller though, like tell you which guard is a pushover. For someone to have a more permanent opinion of you there has to be a significant event. So if you have helped the guard win over his love so he likes you, you might be able to persuade him to push him over the edge and allow you to sneak in. If you saved his child so he admires you, he'll let you in no roll required. I could go on but i'll cut it here. [/QUOTE]
