Had tons of fun playing Bendano Kirshov for this plot. Put my money on the wrong horse, though: was expecting to get around to building, but the faction never did get about that in the end.
 
Which is probably why he never managed to become anything more than a loser!
 
I'll see if I can dig up a few screenshots later today.

Cast stone to flesh on it and it'll rampage across the lands.

Oh yeah, my next PC is definitely going to be an Intel Core processor. That'd be awesome.

The point is apparently that there aren't enough throwing axe drops.
 
Well, tbh, ammo drops are always pretty crappy. Why do you want an exception?

Actually, interesting tidbit.
 
The new party system or whatever makes it that, if no hostile action is being taken against yourself or by yourself, but combat is still very close to your current position, you can still take 20 on trap checks.
 
This probably is coupled to the reason why nothing's showing up in your combat logs either.

Quote from: Letsplayforfun;149973The issue with those skills is that either you are a good spokesman in real life, and then you can play either a good or bad skilled pc, but if you are a mediocre spokesman in real life, you need the rolls so that your pc actually is good even if what you say sucks.

 
All this points out is that you'd rather play through a vague game mechanic rather than actually doing good RP. If everyone thought this way, the server would suck. No offense.

The bluff skill is DC-based, with DCs based on the outrageousness of that what you're saying.
 
For instance:
 
"I'm actually Helm in disguise." would have a very high DC.
"My name is Adahn." wouldn't have a very high DC.
 
It's not supposed to be compared to a lie-detector skill, as that would completely destroy the most important aspect of bluffing, being how big of a bluff you are making.
 
 
I personally enjoy seeing RP where, when a PC bluffs, he does so taking the size of the bluff as well as his bluff skill into account, makes a nice comparison out of that, and then, when he thinks it'd probably be too difficult to pull off, toss in a few emotes about how sweaty the character suddenly looks, or that his eyes are darting back and forth or something like that.
 
Wether or not the PC being lied to would be able to detect the lie is then up to him: does he pick up on the sweaty eye-darting bit and considers it to be because he's lying, or is it just because a goblin could jump out any moment in the volcanic cavern they're currently both in?

The Thayan Enclave is awesome and deserves PCs.
