[QUOTE="AnotherGuy, post: 9867370, member: 7029930"] [I]The orc chieftain, makes a final plea to the PC's explaining that the attack on their homestead was made by his younger and ambitious brother with a group of his close friends and that he has no idea where they are now, and that his people should not have to suffer the consequences of a few. Justice would not be served if the adventurers continued down this warpath. He locks eyes with the cleric, making a pleading gesture.[/I] Everyone who considers themselves not convinced may provide me a DC for his Persuasion check based on 10 + Insight (Wisdom). If you have a Trait, Bond, Flaw, Ideal that you feel challenges the orc chieftain's plea - read it out allowed - if it is decent (table decides, if DM says no) it will incur a Disadvantage on the chieftain's Persuasion roll. You may determine how Success for the chieftain's persuasion plays out for your character. 1. Lower your shield/sheathe your weapon. 2. Take a step back and look at your fellow companions. (Gain the Hesitant Condition) 3. Offer something else you have in mind. Many ways to skin these social encounters to make it interesting at the table. Skills like Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Persuasion are an untapped resource on BOTH sides of the screen. [/QUOTE]
