"Oh yes. Chelish fondants are very good, sweet cakes with a sweet icing over it - usually in pastel colours." she smiles to the goblin; "I'm Ingrid, what's your name?"

"Of course, would you like a bit of honey in it?" Ingrid says softly to the rather short newcomer, feeling everyone is here for a reason and thus only noting the questioner is a goblin. "Now, I think there may be a biscuit around here, or those fondant cakes. Has anyone seen them?" She asks looking around the room.
Carefully placing her fur-trimmed cloak over the back of the Vudrian Rosewood chair, Ingrid moves over to the teapot and carefully pours herself cup. Adding just a dash of milk to the brew before lifting the porcelain cup to her painted lips with exquisite care. "Would anyone else care for a cup?" she asks looking around the room, comfortable in the richly furnished surroundings. Ingrid's civilised demeanour is in contrast to the rustic-styled Ulfen clothes of her homeland.
So, I'm about ready if we want to start :) Even if we don't have all the mechanics we could at least RP?
Wow, just checked out what 'Hobnobber' feat actually does, (other than having a stupid name). "You can attempt twice as many Gather Info checks per day during downtime." Wow, what GM actually runs Gather Info exactly that prescriptive way? (unless you are going for a 4e 'skill contest' thing with "Make 4 successes at DC15, before 3 failures") Wouldn't most GM's generally just say make a G.I. roll, to find out stuff? Or 'what do you want to know? 3 things? (where to find X, who X is, who're their friends) make 3 rolls.... It just seems pretty rules lawyer-y, to actually know you can make Cha# G.I. rolls to find stuff but with the feat you can make 2xCha rolls. Plus wouldn't that invite 2 times the number of potential failures. I know if a player said, "I made 4 checks but failed 2" I'd be more likely to put bad stuff than "I made 2 checks but failed 1". Especially if there's only a finite amount of info I could give out. Personally, I'd much rather have a +2 to the roll, or say G.I. is bumped up a training level, or even (in 5e parlance) give it advantage....which seems to be the implication of the Feat text, but without thinking it through. Even then it'd be a weak feat. |
