Specific Uses
Diplomacy
Diplomacy is used specifically when a character tries to use reason to convince others to agree with him.
The base DC for the check is 25. Succeeding this check means that the characters' dispositions shift one category in the direction the negotiator wishes. For every additional 10 points that the negotiator's check exceeds this DC, the character's dispositions shift an additional category.
Bluff
Bluff is used when a negotiator is trying to convince other characters of a lie. The negotiator's check is opposed by the other characters' Negotiate(Sense Motive) checks.
The negotiator takes the following modifiers to his check depending on the veracity of his bluff.
| Circumstance | Negotiate mod |
|---|---|
| Target is Infatuated | +10 |
| Target gains from the information | +5 |
| Target isn't affected one way or the other | +0 |
| The target is put at slight personal risk | -5 |
| The target is put at great personal risk | -10 |
If the targets succeed their Negotiate(Sense Motive) checks, they do not believe the bluff and become Unfriendly (or lower if that was their original state). If the targets succeed by 5 or more, they realize the negotiator's intention behind them believing the bluff.
Intimidate
Intimidate is used when a negotiator wishes to frighten a character into submission. It is opposed by the defending character's check,
Resist Intimidate Check: d20 + Character Level + Wisdom"
If the negotiator succeeds, the defender is considered "Helpful" for the purposes of helping the negotiator. For every 10 points the negotiator's check exceeds the defender's check, the defender's effective Disposition increases by an additional step. If the defender is made to be a Fanatic through this method, the defender will remain a fanatic until convinced otherwise.
In other cases, a defender's disposition falls to Unfriendly or one step worse than they were previously 1d10x2 minutes after the negotiating character is out of sight.
For every 10 points of damage taken as part of intimidation, a defender must make a Will Save equal to 20 + 2 for every previous will save, or suffer a cumulative -2 penalty on all Negotiate checks.
