Diplomacy
Charisma-based skill for improving NPC attitudes, making requests, and gathering information through conversation.
Diplomacy (Charisma)
Diplomacy governs peaceful social interactions: making requests, improving attitudes, and gathering information through conversation.
Untrained actions:
- Gather Information: Spend an hour canvassing an area and talking to locals to learn useful information. The DC varies based on how secret the information is.
- Make an Impression: Spend at least 1 minute conversing to improve a creature's attitude toward you. The result shifts their starting attitude (hostile/unfriendly/indifferent/friendly/helpful) by 1 or 2 steps.
Trained actions:
- Request: Ask an NPC to do something for you. This is easier the more friendly they are. Even helpful NPCs have limits on what they'll do.
Attitude Scale:
- Hostile: Wants to harm you
- Unfriendly: Dislikes you
- Indifferent: No strong feelings
- Friendly: Likes you
- Helpful: Actively wants to help you
Critical Success: Shift attitude by 2 steps or fulfill a difficult request willingly.
