OIE Skill Adjustment Ideas

Completely get rid of Leader-related skills

 

Speech Skill Idea

 

-Speech can be taken at basic level

        Speech would be regularly used to further details in a normal conversation.

-Once at expert level, a player can choose 1 specialization

        -Negotiation

                -Calming NPCs down to a more peaceful demeanor (hostile, or hostage takers, fear)

                -Coupled with sound reason/compassion to curb an NPCs decision (surrendering, etc)

                -May not work on certain characters (set by DM, or by personality)

                -Can be used to barter at a reduced roll/effect (previously discussed)

        -Intimidation

                -Submitting NPCs to your will (may be coupled with Melee skill)

                -Coupled with threats/warnings to curb an NPS's decision (same as Negotiation)

                -May not work on certain characters (set by DM, or by personality)

                -Can be used as barter at a reduced roll/effect (previously discussed)

        -Barter

                -Negotiate better prices with NPC merchants

                -4=cheap, 5=cheaper, 6=yessss goyim

        -???Interrogation???

                -Can be taken to pull information from NPCs in special situations(stereotypical interrogation scenarios)

                -Optional: Two characters can interrogate an NPC(one with Negotiaton and one Intimidaton), to optimize rolls and intel gathered

-Specialized skill would be used in place of Speech given the proper situation

-If written out of context with skill, roll can be voided or NPCs can respond confused(responses can be unpredictable).

-LIMITATIONS Option:

        1-ONLY ONE SPECIALTY CAN BE TAKEN PER CHARACTER.

                -EX: If you take Negotiation, you cannot take another at any time.

                -This can help balance speech checks to prevent one player from rolling too many skills at once.

        2-One extra speciality can be taken for a high XP price.

        3-Multiple specialities can be taken, but at increased XP cost every time.

 

 

Morale Skill Idea

 

-Damage Boost

        -On 5= +1 Damage for teammates on following turn

        -On 6= Additional bonus (EX: +2 on following roll, or +1 for next two rolls)

                -If a 6 is rolled, must wait 1 turn before using again

        -Only affect teammates at close proximity

                Ex. Snipers/spotters from a distance, players in different area will not be granted effect

               

-Defense Boost

        -On 5= +1 DR for teammates on following turn

        -On 6= Additional bonus (DM determined)

                -If a 6 is rolled, must wait 1 turn before using again

        -Only affect teammates at close proximity

                Ex. Snipers/spotters from a distance, players in different area will not be granted effect

               

-Companion Boost

        -Can only be taken if player currently has a companion attached to them

        -Effects determined by DM at time of companion's turn (using magic, stealth, fighting)

        -If a 6 is rolled, must wait 1 turn before using again

        -Optional for companions, will not have relation effect if/if not taken

       

-Courage Boost

        -Roll to resist enemy Intimidation/Demoralization for 1 turn

        -Rolled after DM rolls Intimidate/Demoralization to negate/overpower effect

        -Affects teammates in close proximity

 

LIMITATIONS Option:

1-ONLY ONE MORALE BOOST CAN BE TAKEN PER PLAYER

2-One extra boost can be taken for a high XP price.

3-Multiple boosts can be taken, but at increased XP cost every time.
