It is judged that if the cards don't affect that person the way you want today, you will have to wait until tomorrow (I imposed a +1 resistance for each attempt at the exact same argument, and limited each argument to one day).<br /><br />I should say, however, that it is up to the DM how long the interval should be, or how much penalty should be imposed for a second and subsequent tries. A DM should make the card system personal to his or her world.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-51114754693033169272011-06-23T16:51:28.897-06:002011-06-23T16:51:28.897-06:00@Carl:

Does it last a round, until your next interaction with them, or until you gain new cards?C'nor (Outermost_Toe)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01580315916281876117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-47647401092467399172011-06-23T13:52:57.827-06:002011-06-23T13:52:57.827-06:00I will add the Fortitude card to those needing to ...I will add the Fortitude card to those needing to be discussed.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-163479991356447762011-06-23T13:37:52.988-06:002011-06-23T13:37:52.988-06:00Alexis,

Also, I applaud you for releasing this to the general public without attempting to commercialize it first. Putting out quality material like this for free does a lot for your personal brand (as it were) and makes it more likely that in the future you will be able to sell materials. I digress, and we can talk about this at a future date.<br /><br />I'm writing to call attention to the Fortitude card in the table. It's the only one that references a number of cards for a bonus rather than a die roll modifier. Is this a typo? If not, would you grace me with a few sentences on how this should be implemented? If you already have, would you mind berating me for my ignorance and failure to read your previous posts with anything resembling comprehension?<br /><br />Thank in Advance!<br /><br />CarlOriginal_Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521777462227997158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-90334122603903746732011-06-23T08:19:49.410-06:002011-06-23T08:19:49.410-06:00Yes Zzarchov, but with the understanding that the ...Yes Zzarchov, but with the understanding that the King will have considerable resistance bonuses, while the peasant may have none. It is not only the bonus of the speaker - it is the resistance of the listener. Therefore, I do not have to impose penalties to the speaker for the listener's rank ... those penalties are already there.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-58385055214986348942011-06-23T06:59:16.966-06:002011-06-23T06:59:16.966-06:00In regards to two specific cards:

Is that intentional?Zzarchovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07714805545939725730noreply@blogger.com
