Romance System?

[Furansisuco]

Good guys, a query, my players have asked me for a romance system for companions or other npc that they like, the problem is that in this kind of topics I am not very good and neither in favor when it comes to roleplaying, does anyone have any romance system?

[AceofMoxen]

I would not create a system for romance. There's so many traps to fall into. I see three options:

1) tell players you aren't comfortable with that in the game.

2) roleplay it out with them.

3) let the player take over roleplaying the character they want to romance.

There's also a sliding scale of detail.

[Furansisuco]

Yes, but the game tells you that there can be romance with companions, in fact, it can be key for some of them not to leave, as in the case of Ekun.

What I don't feel comfortable with is Roleplaying scenes, I don't care if there is romance. That's why I was asking for a system similar to the Jade Regent.

If you need a system, use the victory point subsystem. Over time have the PC make appropriate rolls to earn a Romance option with the companion.

[Furansisuco]

ummm. I'll take a look at it and give it a spin to see how I see it. Thanks

The influence system in Gamemasery Guide would work perfectly for this, I think.

Since there is already an influence system, I had thought of combining it with a victory Points system with the same checks but higher DCs only for those who reached maximum influence, or a system separated.

The Influence system IS a Victory Point system. They lay out the Victory Point system and then give specific, concrete examples of using different permutations of it. You could cobble together a Romance system from scratch and could probably be done in like 5 minutes flat with the tools.

Maybe, I'm thinking about it.
I'm thinking about how to start, I was thinking of making a romance system once the PJs reach the Helpful level, with the Influence DCs a bit more influence as it happened in the Jade Regent.

Unfortunately, the campaign was cancelled when we were at the end of chapter 3, but a couple of players have agreed to start again with other players to retry the campaign.

Helpful, something needed that then impresses them, roll for their interest in the pc (d20, rolled a 2, "I just see you as a friend"), and modify the check needed (whatever you go for), then they shoot their shot and win or die.

Try for a, less is more approach. A sly wink, staying together at the inn, roll for heirs (someone has to get all these hexes some day).

Ultimate Relationships from Legendary Games could be a good place to start.
