Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elf Witch" data-source="post: 4130701" data-attributes="member: 9037">When he said he wanted to do this I looked at it two ways.  You go into a biker bar and two bikers are about to fight you are not a biker you are dressed in three piece armani suit and you step up and try to convince these complete strangers who very angry not to fight. Think how hard that would be to do. Interfering in a highly charged situation like this when you are a not only a stranger but not a part of the "group" is going to more diffcult than say if the person was stranger but also a biker.The cleric of St Cuthbert was to put in modern terms a highly ranked police officer. Again using real life as my inspiration can you imagine if in real life you went up to a cop investigating a mass murder who was arguing say with member of the national guard and you are not any kind of officical you are basically a bystander and trying to get them to stop fighting.It is not going to be easy hence the modifiers. I thought he had a good chance to handle this situation he has a +11 to any roll he makes. I waited until the cleric had left to have this fight break out so that the other characters would have a chance to do something. I had a feeling the bard's player would want to try something. I wanted to give him a chance to do something. And he did he stopped the fight he did succeed in his course of action just not the way he wanted to. Maybe I am wrong to look at it this way but dice rolls play a part in situation outcomes.At least he picked up on an important question and plot hook for his character why was this cleric of St Cuthbert so hostile to his character instead of just unfriendly.</blockquote>
