Description

In a combat situation, you can use the Negotiation skill as a stunt, to reason with your foes. See the Combat chapter for more details.

With a friendly, Minor Character, you can use Will & Negotiation vs. their Will & Negotiation to convince the character to do something they wouldn't normally do. The Game Host may impose penalties for particularly unreasonable requests.

Negotiations with Major characters should be role- played in the course of the game. And even if the role- playing goes well, the Game Host may call for die rolls to see if things go according to plan, or if there's a minor hang-up.

Sometimes, you may want to exaggerate the truth a bit, to help your negotiations along. If you lie, you can include your Deceit dice with your Negotiation - but your target may now include their Inquiry dice, and if they discover that you're lying, they will most likely become hostile.
