>>5581441In every respect, yes. 17/24 for a generic +5 bonus on both stats.>>5581365About that. while he is your liege- which is to say, you pay taxes to him in addition to the taxes you pay to Agamemnon- in reality the system of obligation connecting the minor lords, major lords, and high king is highly frayed due to the events of the previous ~50 years. More on this later.>>5581440In terms of equivalency to the starter trait? Basically impossible. Getting Olympians on your side is not so much a matter of ability, more a matter of luck than anything else. You would have to be lucky indeed to manage that twice. The "canonical" Achilles was favored by Athena in addition to the obvious patronage of his mother, but let me say now that Achilles is not someone who you should compare yourself to overmuch. However, the possession of Olympian Blood does make it quite plausible that you could, say, acquire the favour of Boreas or Nike or some other lesser (but still potent!) being. In addition, there is the matter of your grandparent to consider. OOC the gods generally consider mortals fun playthings, but even they care for their kin. There will be opportunities later.>>5581280>>5581295>>5581245>>5581247>>5581263>>5581309>>5581311>>5581317>>5581365>>5581386>>5581276>>5581405>>5581617>A majority for Direct Frankness, with reasonable support for allowing your motivation to appear to be a strong desire to get the Prince into the action of the war It's a clever idea and to a lesser degree true, ever important for an inexperienced negotiatorYour mother used to say that honey catches more flies than vinegar. In this case, however, you are hardly dealing with a fly. You will approach the king in something approaching earnest- you came here to see Prince Achilles and get him on the road with you to Mycenae, only to find the gates closed and the prince reported missing. You will tell him what you really think- this business of the army will not work out. He needs someone who can actually deal with the intervention of the blessed gods. Unspoken, that he needs you.
>Roll me 2d20, Bo2, +4 (on a split stat check you average the bonus, rounding up. I give you an extra point for the write-in). You will need to beat my rolls for each part: 2d20 +1. Bo2 because you caught Peleus with his chiton off, so to speak, but he is not inclined to hear advice from a man of your status.
