Flaw – corrupt

You want to do flaws Fate style huh Pedro?

A hero may attempt to resist the bribe by preforming a Mettle (Re) action skill roll against TN20 (+5 for each tier past the first). A bonus or penalty to this roll may be applied depending upon the size of the bribe. The base price of a bribe is 1 GP / Hero Tier. Commonly, there is a -1 penalty to the Mettle roll for every 10 sp above the base bribe, and a +1 bonus to the Mettle roll for every 10 sp below the base bribe, as smaller bribes may be perceived as an insult.

Let’s compare:

Discipline Method:
Tier 1 TN: 20 (Assuming Passive’s of 3 and taking +2 Defenses)
Tier 2 TN: 22-23 (Assuming +2 Defenses and maybe a Passive of 4 in one Attribute)
Tier 3 TN: 24-25
Tier 4 TN: 26-28 (Assuming +2 Defenses and maybe a Passive of 4 in both Attributes)
Tier 5 TN: 28-32

Tier Method:
Tier 1 TN: 20
Tier 2 TN: 25
Tier 3 TN: 30
Tier 4 TN: 35
Tier 5 TN: 40

40! Who’s going to be able to make that? Might as well go back to no check at all.

so drop it to 4 instead of 5,

So, will guidelines be put in the campaign guide for acceptable times to bribe are?

It’s up to the GM based upon the NPC they are running at the time..

Pc’s can’t bribe PC’s

And yes….I would kill to change flaws work like fate flaws (with the twists I added in rotted capes)

uh why are we waiting?

Oh, I’m doing my best to stay on topic, and to do that I’m largely ignoring the side conversations that are happening.

I would like corrupt to get errated in this iteration of the rules

How hard do you want the resist roll to be? Do you want it to be a “Challenging” Roll at each Tier? A “Daunting” Roll at each Tier?

With the +/-1 based upon 10sp, you can expect a +/-10 penalty or bonus fairly commonly. If you want it to be less of a ‘swing’ roll go back to +/-1 per 1 gp. It just depends how much people are going to generally bribe a PC?

One adventure it was a 25gp bribe. So that’s -250 to your roll
