I'm really digging the sin/virtue mechanics in RotR and am playing them up as much as possible for my PCs. I considered granting the following bonuses to especially sinful or virtuous characters, increasing it by +1 for each 5 points they rack up in any sin/virtue axis. Anyone done anything along similar lines?
Lust: +1 sin bonus to Bluff You tell people what they want to hear.
Love: +1 virtue bonus to Sense Motive You know the hearts of others.
Greed: +1 sin bonus to Appraise and Sleight of Hand You are skilled at getting what you are owed.
Generosity: +1 virtue bonus to Appraise and Knowledge (local) You know what value you can bring to your community.
Pride: +1 sin bonus to Knowledge (nobility) and Knowledge (history) Pomp and circumstance are your bread and butter.
Humility: +1 virtue bonus to Stealth and Escape Artist There is no need to pay attention to you.
Envy: +1 sin bonus to combat maneuvers You will not be denied.
Charity: +1 virtue bonus to Perception You are aware of what the world around you needs.
Wrath: +1 sin bonus to Intimidate You teach those around you to know fear.
Kindness: +1 virtue bonus to Diplomacy You share an uncommon empathy with those around you.
Sloth: +1 sin bonus to Knowledge skill of player’s choice You watch others act, and learn from their choices.
Zeal: +1 virtue bonus to initiative You act before you decide precisely what to do.
Gluttony: +1 sin bonus to saves vs poison Your body embraces what it can extract from the world.
Temperance: +1 virtue bonus to saves vs disease Your body is a temple, and you keep all its vestibules tidy.
I really like these.
I'd would however like them better bumped up to the power of a trait (and of a more uniform power level).
I had done a magus archetype based on the idea of Runelords - these ideas work well within the framework of those archetypes.
