|
|
Heya Trevor or Hunter,
Basically...
Why do Guardians have Intimidation and Persuasion as skills that are Core trained in one case and Triple trainable in the other? I note that Psionics have both as well, and Mages have Persuasion.
Are these skills used with the Psionic and Magic systems? If so how?
And how do they relate to Guardians if a Guardian does not train Psi or Magic?
Thanks,
TravlnKnight |

This is a pretty common question, and for good reason.
Basically, persuasion has been invisioned for Guardians for abilities that involve peace-making, or as the skill name suggests, persuasion. These abilities have not materialized to date but that is why they have that skill. Any ability that involves "peaceful" or "persuasive" mind control etc would use this sort of skill. For example, a calming power, or even a sleep spell might use this (countered by mental and magic resist respectively).
Intimidation is more used for fear type powers and while the psi fear abilities are not in place, many of them involve invoking fear and would use this skill. It can also be used for general "aggressive" persuasion methods, interrogation, etc.
As for Guardians in specific, their skillset will receive an overhaul for live and core skills won't exist any more, so it's sort of moot. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

Okay thanks for the reply.

They're going to cost less to "purchase" in Live. There are more threads about the subject... somewhere.... can't remember where. They're there, though. |
