rg56538 27 Posted January 28, 2015 So in the book they have the NPC "Military Leader" and he has +Tactician and +Natural Leader. Now other than the obvious use for Social/Mental based rolls one would have to do, how would this be useful in a combat situation? Would his mere presence inspire his men and get +1 positive die during their combat? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryoden 514 Posted January 29, 2015 I would say that the answer to that and to a lot of other questions like it is "Yes - so long as it makes sense in the story" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rg56538 27 Posted January 29, 2015 My main concern would be as far as they apply to the PCs. It would need to be a static boost as far as they are concerned unless I forced them to make a speech every time. Where as if they are an established leader, the 'lead PC" mere presence would inspire confidence therefore... 1 Evil Genius Prime reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eyeless1 172 Posted January 29, 2015 If an NPC leader is leading PCs, or NPCs really, he could direct/order where they should direct their attacks. "concentrate all fire and that super star destroyer" kinda thing. Attacks directed against the target would get bonus dice. I could see this useful if you decide to fight one of those Horrifying Abominations things in Under the Skin. Or even to counter Voodoo Shamans and such. He could point out enemy weaknesses, and if the PCs use those weaknesses they could get extra dice. The leader could make certain tests easier, like a +2, instead of the normal +1 for extra help. There is alot you can do here, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
