Changing Attitudes

Parent page Make an Impression

• Helpful: Willing to help you and responds favorably to your requests.
• Friendly: Has a good attitude toward you, but won't necessarily stick their neck out to help you.
• Indifferent: Doesn't care about you either way. (Most NPCs start out indifferent.)
• Unfriendly: Dislikes you and doesn't want to help you.
• Hostile: Actively works against you—and might attack you just because of their dislike.

No one can ever change the attitude of a player character with these skills. You can roleplay interactions with player characters, and even use Diplomacy results if the player wants a mechanical sense of how convincing or charming a character is, but players make the ultimate decisions about how their characters respond.
