Performance Combat as Diplomatic Combat


Homebrew and House Rules


Hey, there. I'm considering converting the rules for Performance Combat into something akin to Diplomatic or Influence Combat. A few of the tweaks I'm considering:

- Use the Performance Combat rules largely as written, with Diplomacy replacing Perform
- Profession and Craft may be used much as Diplomacy may, when within applicable areas (Craft/Swordsmith could be used among other weaponsmiths or among a group of dwarves, for example, whose culture places a particular value on the skill)

So far, so good. I'm down to the section on action types, though, and victory points. Any suggestions for guidelines here?

Also, any possible speed bumps you could see, and suggestions for overcoming them? I'm looking for some brainstorming, if you're willing to share. :)

I really like the idea.

I started this ages ago, based off another's work, and a couple days into it TheRedArmy went full swing and finished it much better than I could have. Link: Social Combat.

I'm linking it for the purpose of providing you with a ton of suggestions for action types and so on. It has several action types listed for both sides which may provide you with inspiration for your own project.
