It does make having a henchman run a guild more difficult in that a henchman will be lower-level than his leader, and so more likely to be subject to perceived as weak penalty, but I don't really think it's enough.jedavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08586249502818922886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657266526705426756.post-924338522100291862013-01-14T11:07:52.062-05:002013-01-14T11:07:52.062-05:00I agree that it does need testing, and that hiring...I agree that it does need testing, and that hiring a sufficient number of thieves is may ameliorate the impact of these rules somewhat (though since expectation for a non-thief below 9th without +cha is betrayal, I'm not sure hiring more thieves will do more than generate more betrayals). Drew has proposed a single morale roll per month for the guild's ruffians as a collective, which might scale better and achieve the same end with less paperwork.<br /><br />And not sure about the +soc profs. I think a bonus from intimidate is likely the most reasonable; diplomacy is nice and all, but this is modeling the discussions of your assembled thieves in smoky back rooms of seedy taverns when you're not around to smooth things over.jedavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08586249502818922886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657266526705426756.post-88144917334919822672013-01-14T09:34:07.114-05:002013-01-14T09:34:07.114-05:00This seems like it might be a good fix, but I'...This seems like it might be a good fix, but I'd want to see a test/simulation of it. It seems to me that with enough seed money, these barriers could be overcome relatively easily.<br /><br />Do the Social+ proficiencies apply here?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159737770614165905noreply@blogger.com
