[QUOTE="77IM, post: 7029702, member: 12377"] My biggest question is: when does a "scene" start? How long can you hold onto a bump? If you succeed wildly against the royal herald, can you use those bumps 1 minute later when you are standing before the king? If the court session drags on, can we take a short rest and get more bumps? Or what? I love the idea of Charisma checks creating an expendable resource; it reminds me a bit of Gumshoe. You may even formalize the results of bumping somehow. For example, maybe NPCs have a default attitude, and can be moved 1 step by talking, and another step by a bump. That's a bit crude, but the idea is to create a rule where the players have some idea when to use their bumps and on whom. For example maybe the king has a reputation of being "stubborn" so it takes 4 total points to sway him; and the players have some notion of this, so if their spoken points are falling flat they can start throwing bumps at him.
