What would YOU do with a +65 Bluff?

[Kyramus]

Bluff uses

Feinting in combat. Hmmm make someone loose their dx bonus on the Psion's next attack.


Create a Diversion to hide.

Bluff is outrageous and requires some mortal risk on the target's part. Can you say "I'll give you 100 million platinum pieces if you can hold off that Grand daddy of Dragons that's coming towards us for just a minute."


Impersonation: "I'm the King's advisor. What? Do you really expect me to wear grand robes just so I could be a target?"

Secret Language. Say something but mean something else totally.

Come on guys ! Too slow...

With +65 Bluff you can be half way to a minor diety with the number of followers you can get.

I've recently had a similar issue with the PC bard in my campaign getting a +46 Bluff check because of the Glibness spell. However, I've pointed out to him that, just because people believe you, doesn't mean that they want to help you.

PC: "I'm the rightful heir to the throne, so you need to step down."

King: "Like hell. I was raised into this position, and have earned it. Where were you when the flumph armies decimated lower Algeristan? Guards, court mage, execute him!"

Come on guys ! Too slow...

With +65 Bluff you can be half way to a minor diety with the number of followers you can get.

You can even get high-level NPCs at your beck and call.

Hell, with +65 Bluff and a really big magic megaphone you could convince the planet to crown you king of all of it.

You could convince everyone that the 3.5 rules are all good.

Cast mind bondage and make my father buy me $200 worth of Dungeons and Dragons books and miniatures.

Oh, wait...I'm not 8th level.

How about selling the Eiffel tower, twice.

I don't know about you, but I've always wanted to convince an NPC that the sky is a different color than it actually is.

PC: "My, isn't the sky particularly plaid-colored today?"

*looks up*

Poor, susceptible NPC: "Uhh. Why...yes...I guess...it is. Hrm. "

 

[heirodule]

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.

Good point made by Wickett. Just because a lie is totally believable doesn't guarantee a specific response. A DM could still use the opportunity to screw up the character's life in weird ways (ala the ever-classic conundrum of wording the perfect wish).

"So you're the king? OK." -- stab -- "I killed the tyrant! I freed the city from his iron grip of tyranny! Yay me!"
