The DM should choose what skill is used based on the player's description of their character's behaviour. A player saying something like 'I use Diplomacy' does not cause their character to take any action. The DM should apply penalties or bonuses so that the player's role-playing has an actual mechanical effect.<br /><br />In the specific case of 9, there's a set of rules for Diplomacy on the Giant in the Playground site which I want to adapt for 0e in the future.anarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05546197561922726279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179649506981851979.post-71270459789923436482011-06-15T15:47:27.040-05:002011-06-15T15:47:27.040-05:00Well, if it's a religion we get tax exempt sta...Well, if it's a religion we get tax exempt status.<br /><br />He forgot, "0.
