Category: Social Talents |
Upgrade Category: B |
Associated Attributes:
Charisma, Cleverness, Intuition
Description:
It can happen that characters unexpectedly end up mingling with high society, whether they
are invited to attend a court ball or royal audience as reward for a particular deed, or
because they are spying on a villain at the duke's palace. How, though, does one address
the daughter of a margrave, and which coat of arms belongs to the Stormfield Mersinger
family? You will also need to know which wines are currently in fashion and whether
it is considered appropriate to serve sweet pastries after mutton casserole. As it would
be impossible for players to remember all of these things, their characters should be as
well-versed in etiquette as possible. Etiquette is governed by fixed talent prowess
values. No talent tests are rolled.

Is this person telling the truth? Is this swamp guide trustworthy? Am I being

Associated Attributes:
Charisma, Charisma Intuition
Description:
This talent governs your character's effect on members of the opposite sex. A successful
talent test signifies that the object of your advances is well-disposed towards you. What
the seduced person is prepared to do for your character is another matter, however, and
depends greatly on the current game situation. When dealing with particularly resistant
targets of either gender, modifiers are added to the seduction test.
