What would YOU do with a +65 Bluff?

This reminds me of a guy who went into a major TV networks party and bluffed that he was the son of a rich and well known businessman. He was drinking and chatting away with all these famous TV stars. After that he took some of them on a rented jet to another party in another city. (He put it on his bill of course... no money in fact)

Naturally some days later the police got him on charges of fraud and debts on the rented plane. So he was sent to a state prison. Some months later a major criminal organization organizes a state wide prison revolt. Dozens of jails had simultaneous rebellions. Soon after the TV news announce that negotiations with the rebel inmates is going well due to a particularly helpful Leader of the rebellious....

Well to the dismay of the reporters... soon after TV viewers recognized the so called "leader" of the criminal organization and negotiator as none other than the Charlatan of the TV party. This chubby guy convinced hardened criminals that he was the high ranking representative of the bloody PCC gang, many of them being de facto members of the PCC. They all followed his orders during the standoff with the police !! That is what I call a good bluff...

Naturally he was given some special protection after the rebellion was over... since the PCC gang was none to happy about his meddling. :)

What would I honestly do? I'd be a world class troublemaker and live my life fast and loose, one step ahead of the law.

Think Captain Jack Sparrow from PoTC..sure, his bluff isn't quite a 65, but it's probably pretty darned high.

Why does the "lammasu in disguise" thing even work. Someone could totally believe that was your SINCERE BELIEF, but since it obviously isn't true, then nobody will act on it except to eye you warily.

Absolutely not.

From the Player's Handbook:

"BLUFF (Cha)

You can make the outrageous or the untrue seem plausible [...]"

Not "People will think you have delusions of grandeur..."
 

Step 1: Find Mid Ranking FBI or CIA or NSA Agent who knows the decryption key to some super password language used among agents.

Step 2: Convince Agent that I was higher ranking officer sent to test him on the language. In the process learn the key.

Step 3: Go to some rich hollywood folk that got rich and dont report all their taxes. Convince them I'm there to take all their property. Tell them that they can keep it on one condition. They do a special mission for the govt.

Step 4: Send them to nearest gov't office with note in encrypted language that says. "These people fund terrorists" signed the officer who gave the code.

Step 5: run will all the money and dissapear.
 




These aren't your wands I carried them in myself. But I, a lowly bard, have no use for such wonderous magic and would like to sell them all to you for your shop.

Hey, that's my armor

Basically you could steal anything from anyone with complete impunity.

Though you do have to remember what was mentioned earlier. Will the king step down or fight you?
