Steel Accord 6,657 May 25, 2015 Share May 25, 2015 Well according to the rules, one of the favors that an be granted by a nature spirit is communication with animals. Basic level allows the Shaman to communicate feelings to them and advanced allows outright speaking to and understanding them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel Accord 6,657 May 25, 2015 Share May 25, 2015 Ahh, like the Animal Friend perk up to eleven? In a way, that perk means that animals will help implicitly. This is more "hey could you help me out guys?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defender of Tomorrow 323 May 26, 2015 Author Share May 26, 2015 I did some reading on the spirit section of the guidebook (which I might add is incomplete and we will probably have to improvise, again..) and it does mention something called Spirit Power but it doesn't have any information on how to calculate one's spirit power nor how to use it while "bargaining" with spirits. Any ideas guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Circuit 1,842 May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 Could pull from D&D and use charisma and speech to affect how well he can bargain with the spirits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender of Tomorrow 323 May 26, 2015 Author Share May 26, 2015 That could work for "bargaining" ,but the Spirit Power determines which spirits he can interact with, sort of like how a 50 lockpick allows you to lockpick medium difficulty boxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Circuit 1,842 May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 You can determine a strain amount for him like the unicorns have... instead of magical influence it can be used for spiritual influence. Then determine the spirit ability lvl as it's presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas guys? It actually does tell you that. It works by Charisma and Barter skill. That could work for "bargaining" ,but the Spirit Power determines which spirits he can interact with, sort of like how a 50 lockpick allows you to lockpick medium difficulty boxes Oh that. Well the "spirit power" of the spirit depends on you. You set the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender of Tomorrow 323 May 26, 2015 Author Share May 26, 2015 I must have missed it then, reading while being sick and having a fever is the worst. How experienced of a shaman do you consider Ezekiel to be? Like Arch-druid Birchbeer would be like 100 on a scale of 1-100. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit Affinity is what you are looking for, for an exact number quality. (CHA / 2, rounded up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender of Tomorrow 323 May 26, 2015 Author Share May 26, 2015 So he would have a spirit affinity of 3 just based off CHA. Does he have any other perks/traits/something to increase that number? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Accord 6,657 May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 So he would have a spirit affinity of 3 just based off CHA. Does he have any other perks/traits/something to increase that number? Royal Canterlot Voice gives him +5 to Speech/Barter and the Spirit in question can only have 1-10 in Spirit Power. (With exceptions, like Discord.) The Spirit Power rating also isn't an opposed number unless the spirit in question is reluctant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender of Tomorrow 323 May 26, 2015 Author Share May 26, 2015 So which spirit is Ezekiel trying to communicate with? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Accord 6,657 May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 A nature spirit. Of course, that depends if there even IS one "nearby" to talk to, which is your discretion. (Although considering the amount of radboars, I would think it likely.) I could try to summon one but that would require time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defender of Tomorrow 323 May 26, 2015 Author Share May 26, 2015 Yeah, just be sure to include when you're trying to use barter/speech so I can answer better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Accord 6,657 May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 Yeah, just be sure to include when you're trying to use barter/speech so I can answer better. Well right now, just that the boars won't try to kill us. If it can be helped, perhaps a favor to be called on later. I'm telling you hear because under how I'm sort of interpreting it. Spirit's aren't completely omniscient but they can see a mortal's nature just by looking at them because they perceive their souls. (Like how Discord seemed to know all of the Mane Six with no introduction or prior knowledge of them.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender of Tomorrow 323 May 26, 2015 Author Share May 26, 2015 Not sure thats how spirits work, says that you can only summon a particular type of spirit once per day, in this case nature and you must negotiate with it and offer something to it. Unless Ezekiel's tribal orientation was nature then he can summon the nature spirit again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
