Hail Glorious Citizens of Our Glorious Nation!

As your humble, all-powerful despot of peace and love, I often wonder which of our Glorious Citizens will one day challenge my gentle iron grip on the hearts and minds of the masses.

Now, as we in the fist shaking business know too well, the masses, while Glorious, are simple and weak, prone to manipulation and trickery.

To this end, BIFTech Engineers have been tasked with tracking down potential threats to the stability of our Glorious Nation.

The reports have just arrived and I would appreciate insight offered by this council.

::

The following citizens have been flagged as potential threats:

  • Tony the Tap Dancing Standard Bard

  • Petra the Crueltongued Court Bard

  • Slygos the Slippery The Serpentine Sorcerer

  • Fernandez the Foul Infernal Sorcerer

  • Perky the Pert Fey Sorcerer

  • Wiles o' Wily the Enchanter Wizard

  • Master Collin the Controller Wizard

  • Mistress Pretzel the Manipulator Wizard

  • Brother Glum the Cleric of Leadership and Liberation

    ::

    The question I pose before this fair council of minds is simple:

    Which of the above citizens would you class as the greatest threat to our loving dictatorship?

    Note: Due to the benevolent laws of our Glorious Nation, citizens will rarely confront each other directly, instead preferring to fight for power through the manipulation of the masses.

    Thanks be to the Council of Minds!

  • Interesting Question, neutrally I would say the guy with the highest leadership score.

    However, as that's the boring answer:
    Pretzel the Manipulator. First off, she's got a cool german name. Now she needs intelligence to not get taken by the current dictator, and she got a few tricks that help to overcome possibly low charisma.

    My guess tough would be the highly intelligent, charismatic rogue. Taking over Robin Hood style. (Or possibly Vetinari style, if you know Terry Pratchett)

    The Court Bard is probably not throwing over your loving dictatorship, you can't fight fire with fire.

    The problem of choice is mainly because everyone could do it, the background of the person is important. He needs a lot of friends, secrecy, money, and possibly a few tricks up his sleeve. But the lowest chance is for the do-good naive guy, who thinks by openly saying a few true words, the world will change to the better.


    My lord despot, I urge you to put your most benevolent thumbscrews on Slygos the Slippery forthwith! I have reliable information he intends to use his day-care centre to hypnotise our children, while they are still weak of Will, low of HitDice and do not understand what happens even when he does fail. The wicked instructions, implanted while they were vulnerable, will within a generation work their way through our whole society, even affecting those who now have grown beyond the grip of such sorcery!
    With his many spells, and many days to cast them, it is the Serpentine Sorcerer that threatens your glorious reign most.

    Clever and manipulative? INSUFFERABLE!

    Note to all BIFTech Engineers: When confronting The Manipulator, be sure to employ specially augmented zombie-citizens. Do not let her touch the living. Do not let her touch the living!
