in our game last night, we had two players with characters with high numbers for charisma and are very good at sweet talking other characters. My character is a Vesk soldier who has been nicknamed Groo by the rest of the team, you can understand why, and if he ever figures it out, he will be annoyed. But last night both our normally James Bond smooth operators failed EVERY attempt at convincing they tried, while Groo succeeded!This was met with a whole lot of laughs as the night progressed, as this would normally never happen. I am sure things will be back to [ab]normal next game, but it was fun while it lasted!

A "Void Elf" could be terrifying. Ooh, a Void Dark Elf working for the IRS...brings a whole new meaning to the term wanting "a pound of flesh".

Hey, not using Terran morality but a knowledge of dealing with real world violent criminals for 27 years in Corrections, everything from a high violence maximum security prison to parole agent on a high risk unit gives me a bit of insight into the thought process of real violent gang bangers. First, if you beat their guys, but let them live and show some respect, you will probably get some grudging respect. Second, you hurt or kill one in an upfront fight, you will earn respect but still be considered an enemy. Third, you just off one who is down, you have all out retribution. Period. End of sentence. Pure, nasty vengeance. They can't afford to be seen as weak or not standing, it is ON. No quarter, no peace making. They have to maintain that respect from other organizations. |
