>>6033038yaaay that works. so, then: the excuse for touching the guts is because she really likes anatomy- we go with that
oh wait, if you are gonna be a week away from the PC will you be able to answer the next post? wakoko's story is giving me some good time to flesh out (lel) the newcomers, but a week might be too long. also whatever you are doing: have fun! i was considering self-exiling myself from the pc for at least a week to see what happens
>>6032935>Though thinking about char rolls, we never saw them used against a player.char rolls represent confidence, which is used as a substitute for actual arguments. this is why you never see it used against players: the reaction of the player itself is the result of the roll
>Charisma's enemy stat is charismaboth intent, intellect, and confidence matter when convincing. let me try to get technical:
-charisma is a matter of association. we base our assumption that someone believes in what it's saying in specific factors such as its pose, manner of speech, tone, gestures, etc, anything other than the actual content of what's being said. charisma is charisma's enemy because other person with charisma may know these patterns as well, and know when they are being used either wrong or forcefully- ergo, smell out that the other is sure. a charisma fail is someone calling you out on the way you talk and present yourself
-wisdom is about perceiving intent or determining implications. a wisdom fail is when the other perceives your message correctly but fails at gauging what it means
-int is about, well, not being a dumbass
that being said: you can overcome int and wis defenses through charisma alone. 'this shit doesn't make sense to me, but this girl's cocky enough!' would be a common answer. int doesn't work against wis, wis doesn't work against int, both work against charisma, and charisma is the joker that works against all in exchange for not being useful on its own
>If you had a high enough charisma stat, you could know that the person is lying to you/not be swayed, but you fail the wisdom roll part, and you don't know why they are lying.a high enough charisma lets you know if the person truly believes in what it says, if it's actually confident whether it's lying or not. wisdom is what tells you if they are lying since it's used to explain /why/ people do things, and it's wisdom again that tells you why they are lying
i appreciate you paying attention to the technical details of the quest. if there's an overlap between wis and char then it would be good to catch it early on. i won't mind changing it to something that makes sense
>>6032777i often tell my players that there's no need to scavenge the archive, but it does make me pretty giddy that you are having fun akikanon. i don't know how much text it's at this point, so don't feel obligated to go through it to keep up with the quest. i'll explain everything once again here if needs be
