>>11828>tfw all problems can be solved through contract lawYay Art of the Deal! Yeah pretty much, although it only concerns the fate of the child. I'd like the rest of the party to join in Trump's claim to the child should Tracy fail to meet the conditions and break them repeatedly and severely. Of course if they are unwilling to support the contract, I guess I'll be satisfied going right back to where we were with a possible civil war.
>>11817"Please understand Tracy that this is a legal settlement between you and I. If you agree to these terms and obey them, I will not contest your claim to custody of the child, besides if course doing my part to support him. But if you do not agree to these conditions or agree and do not abide by them, not only can I not be your husband, I will seek to have you declared unfit to be a mother, and will take full custody of the child. My child will have a loving mother or step mother of morally good character, and I will see to it.
You don't have to agree, and you don't have to change who you are. I am simply giving you the choice of changing who you are and not contesting your claim to the child, or stay who you are and I will contest your claim"
>>11830Recognize that this contract does not extend outside party interactions; Tracy is free to infringe upon whomever she feels entitled to, and Trump will suck it up.
>>11826>>11827>gets back from shopping at ministore>sees this>does math, like the massive faggot he isTheoretically, I could probably out-roll this pretty easily if I wanted to (because I'm playing a level 15 criminally insane psychic rogue), and you're character wouldn't know the difference, but I don't want to.That aside, the real issue though is that you're using this spell the wrong way: it's made to prevent blatant lies, not to create binding contracts. Tracy could be completely willing to agree to something one moment (she's willing to do almost ANYTHING while she's in your presence, when she's in this state), but change her mind later if she changed, and she'd have sociopath-tier opacity about it afterwards because of the Chaotic Mind and Slippery Mind (deadly Yandere combo). Furthermore, Zone Of Truth doesn't account for simple ignorance, lack of understanding, repressed personality traits, or simply not knowing the question. If she were to answer this question, she'd absolutely say "yes" to anything you asked, but it'd be bullshit, from a game-meta and dramatic perspective, for her to completely change instantly and follow through with the binding. A contract of this magnitude that could completely control a character to this degree would cost another spell, a powerful on, several even. If I were to have her say "yes" to everything, it'd be genuine in the moment, but that wouldn't change the fact that she's fucking insane.>>11827That aside...I, the nerd, can do away with the lying-to-your-face, horseshit, because that's simply out of character, and I don't like doing it. As for all that other stuff... well, no promises. I'm playing her as a Yandere, an edgy yandere. She's going to do fucked-up shit while you're not looking if she thinks it gets in the way of her relationship, because that's what yanderes do (and I still want to do it). I she does something fucked-up, she, rationally, would try to cover it up because "he'll hate me if he finds out" or "I don't want him to see this side of me"; so, we have an issue here: you, as a player, would easily see everything she's done, while your character is oblivious; but that won't stop you from investigating and interrogating her. In every decision she makes, she tilt toward the one that seems most likely sustains her relationship: her sincerity depends on how much she trusts you to accept her for who she is and what she's done. She'd accept pretty much any punishment if she believed you'd forgive her, but she'd try to hide herself from you if she believed you'd irredeemably hate her for it. So, the question is, how secure in her relationship can you make her feel? She can't change all at once, but you can change her step-by-step, if you're willing to let her get closer; maybe you can even make her waifu material. If that's what you want, I could give you some pointers.I will type-out a few actual responses in a bit after I'm done with this work, even regardless of whether or not the situation changes; I could write a new one later if I see fit.
In the meantime, let that sink-in and consider what the implications are for The Game.
>>11833I don't [rppf-read either /)
>>11832Of course Zone of Truth can't prevent future infringement. That's why I must and will be using zone of truth and detect lies in Tracy every single play session from here on out, besides watching her every move, and ask all of the relevant questions. I know properly ensuring someone meets with the conditions of their probation is difficult. I do not care. This is important enough to waste time on, to piss off other players with, and to burn half if my spell slots every single play session on
\r
>>11832And I'm a level 15 Immigration officer. Don't fuck with me
>>11835>That's why I must and will be using zone of truth and detect lies in Tracy every single play session from here on outSo, you intend to squeeze daily confessions out of her and punish her accordingly? Hmmm.. I could make that work.
>besides watching her every move, and ask all of the relevant questionsPlease don't bullshit me with long-ass contracts/interrogations again. She'll tell you anything, so long as she believes you can forgive her. Just ask for a confession, 'punish' her accordingly, and give me a chance to make it romantic/cute.
>>11836You're not psychic though. We have a l15 Paladin
We have a l15 Meme-Wizard/Theurge
We have a l15 Psychopath
and We have a l15 Bull.
Paladin ranks accordingly, Meme-wizard can nao reference divine spells, and psychopath figured out how to animate chains w/ her mind.
Infernius gained ranks in forging, Tracy in potions and magical crafts, Trump in Diplomacy and Perform, and Torcuil in alchemical transmutation.
"Now the concept of Theurgy recognizes that divine spells are brought from and flow from a divine source, a without. It also appreciates that arcane spells are derived and flow from within. Theurgy takes the assertive nature of wizardry and places it in the realm of the observer. YOU become the one to whom you beg for spells, and YOU are the one to grant them," begins one of Lenos' lectures to Torcuil.
"Less Yak-yak, more whack-whack!" he immediately chides Infernius for the umpteenth time.
Meanwhile Tracy, in her newly ground and recently caved-in (to prevent outsiders) lair, makes a great deal of development in telekinesis, specifically the animation of those oh so sexy golded-spike chains.
Also, Trump fully engages in business and community contracts/projects. He has thoroughly won the hearts and minds of port Barry, and word of his magnificence has begun to draw folk from surrounding communities.
>>11844I'll answer that when you state what levels Tracy has. e_@
>>11845>when you state what levels Tracy has.I don't actually know how to do this...
>>11846Think of it as a percentile. What percent of Tracy's total experience do you want put where?
The only limit is on wilder, which is 30% max.
>>11847Do prestige classes need experience?
>>11839Whats a Theurge?
>alchemical transmutationLead into gold kinda thing?
>>11838>edgy YandereAnd I am playing as/literally am an equally psychotic paranoiac with experience detecting fraud in asylum applicants
>accept her for who she isI'll repost the Paladin's code since I think it is helpful: "While she may adventure with good or neutral allies, a paladin avoids working with evil characters or with anyone who consistently offends her moral code. Under exceptional circumstances, a paladin can ally with evil associates, but only to defeat what she believes to be a greater evil."
But really beyond that the bigger issue is that a neutral evil outsider cannot raise his child, and there is no negotiating, bullying, bartering, or begging him out of that. It's like seeing your country become communist. Death is preferable, and it is better to watch the whole world burn.
You should have chosen a different target
>he's not psychicYes he is. He can cast "detect lies" which uses the aura of the character. No, he cannot know the truth, only that he is being deceived. But really, just like in asylum law, that's all he needs to know. He doesn't need to know the truth, only that it's being hidden from him.
>punish her accordinglyHow? He has very few things she wants and he has very few ways of harming her. If she breaks the contract repeatedly, or egregiously, or he just doesn't believe she has any intent of complying, then he will take the child and try to leave her, and the consequences will be as they are
\r
>>11854This
>>11851I think you misunderstand how difficult she will be to discipline
>>11852Is it possible to save experience for later? I want to save most of it for assassin...
>>11855Of course she's almost impossible to discipline. That's why the contract can't be anything more than a peace treaty, which, if broken, starts a civil war
>>11856You can do that
>>11857Thats part of her charm. Choose your path; that of least resistance is to your left, that of most resistance is to your right.
I recommend the middle.
>>11864>"confusion"So Trump desires an accord with Tracy to do with - but not limited to - him cumming inside (It happened, I saw the shit).
Any other additions or corrections?
Tracy struggles to define her existence, in relation to professional/personal skills and abilities. Its almost that Tracy is an amorphous identity which her faggot didn't fully appreciate when he took her on.
Sorry, that waas 'rude', Tracy is awesome and I want her to grow and develop as a character and I
mostly won't troll
>>11865If you mean pertaining to the consequences of a previous effort, then sure, I guess
>>11868>fuck the evil out of herHave you ever tried to do that to a human woman? It doesn't work. It doesn't work at all. In fact, it makes things worse, because it messes with their emotions, Abe it gives them a reason to think they own you. So no.
>break her like a horseNow this is more plausible. I'll think about it.
>>11869>Have you ever tried to do that to a human woman?She's not a human woman. She's a magical pony; and this is a fantasy setting.
>>11869>>11870Can't argue with either point TBH
>>11869>In fact, it makes things worse, because it messes with their emotionsPoint taken; sticking your dick in crazy breeds crazy. However, you've already bred her.
>it gives them a reason to think they own youWell, you are married, so...
>>11843Huzzah! How many Charisma point do I receive! I don't know if I have made it perfectly clear, but I've had Trumpaladin constantly grinding contract negotiation since the first treasure was recovered. He's doing most of the contracts (procurement, construction) for all of the new buildings. I think this should build his charisma, probably specifically in Diplomacy
>>11870If you did not want to react to Tracy with the contempt, disgust, disdain, mistrust, and general revulsion with which I do to my ex-girlfriend at her worst, then you should not have taken an adorably blue pony of stabbiness and unoriginality and turned her into a real human woman
So to finalize the recent changes and developments, no Trump did not break Torcuil's staff, because I rolled a 5/20 and everyone died otherwise.
Some might consider that the preferable outcome Xp
What did happen is that in the aftermath of the 2nd Soros fight, the city of Port Barry sprung back amazingly, both from Trump's iconic leadership and from 'local contracts' which readily sustain growth and development. I can't seem to find Trump's specific plans for development, but recall them being shrewd as well as prudent, and those buildings and structures are serviceably finished.
Tracy, after discovering through a prolonged conversation with the ants through spoken word and written response, that all the ants really want and need is dead things, which Tracy is most apt at producing. It doesn't really matter the level of decay either, they can/will eat it in exchange for goods and services they can render (mostly limited to digging and fixing things). She has already given a great deal so they are more than willing to assist in the crafting of a sekret lair which (though not getting why) they agree to bury her inside of.
Trump makes great gains in Diplomacy some in Concentration and Bluff, and smaller in other skills that are loosely related.
>>11876>tfw you accidentally tried too hardO-oh.. Okay... I'll fix it...
