I've been restraining Cilyanka's reaction to this particular scanario....
I'm tempted to play it through. I know what she should do.
Her swords purpose is (or will be) vengence and the weapon chose Cilyanka due to powerful but repressed feelings on the subject in relation to her family.
Ameiko is currently the closest thing Cilyanka has to family.
Edit: it's done. I designed Cilyanka having a particular character flaw before I knew sins would be tracked. I'm sticking to it. Her struggles coming to terms with who she is is a central part of my concept and the outcome has yet to be determined.
Just a heads up for the next two weeks I'm in a hotel with bad internet. If it seems like I disappeared, please feel free to bot me to keep things moving.
Up to you, Alkaid. Just, let me know so we can play it out.
GM:
I figure the DC roll should be 1d20+((Bluff+Diplomacy)/2) since she is telling the truth, but not relieving the hidden fact.
So the sense motive DC should be 1d20+8, or a DC of 10 +(1/2 Char Level)+((Bluff+Diplomacy)/2) or DC 19.
Sense DC:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
If they pass they know she left something out, but the amount they surpass the DC and I'll Cough out some more information on what was left out.
No, Cilyanka is much more concerned with who you are than what you are.
Funny thing is who and what are related in a way.
I tend to take a different view. Aasimar's can fall and become daemonic, tieflings can ascend to become archons. It's not where you start that matters. It is where you end your journey and the path you walked to get there that matter.
i.e. if someone is hiding something about themselves
it raises the questions
why are they hiding it?
how are they hiding it?
whom are they hiding it from?
The above someone's actions speaks about themselves in who they are by action.
i.e. did they outright lie, or just leave out some info.
Just a quick heads-up: We (me, hubby, and daughter) are going to Florida next week. We're leaving Sunday and will return Thursday. We'll be spending two days in Orlando (Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure) with a one day side trip to Tampa (Busch Gardens). We will be bringing sufficient electronics (daughter's laptop, my Galaxy Tab and my Kindle Fire) to keep up with the posts, but I will only be able to post in the late evenings and not at all on Sunday (April 7) or Thursday (April 11). 17 hour drives aren't conducive to that, for some reason. ;) I'll have everything I should need with me, so there shouldn't be too much of an issue.
I like your trips better than mine. My last couple have involved 12-14 hour workdays :( Quick question though, did you mean April? Because the 7th is on a Tuesday and the 11th is a Saturday in May?
On that topic though, I'll be moving the 10th and 11th of April, so don't know how much I'll be getting on those days. And the 13th to the 17th of May I'll be in Florida...but for work :(
