Ah, good old charisma. It can open a lot of doors, and in my experience shut even more, seduce the big bad, somehow make a door blush and then open, and cause a guy to get hit every time he spoke (he had negative 3 charisma, so everyone had to roll not to hit him). I play weird DnD sessions and hear about even weirder one’s from my friends.

Good amounts of Charisma, in the right hands, can also be used Against the players. Remember, Seduction(Charisma) can cause more problems than it solves! Like oh, you just seduced the mob boss’ wife, and she decides to keep seeing you, behind her husband’s back!

Or a player somehow successfully seduces a succubus early in a campaign, causing the BBEG of the campaign to just be an angry father.

Always pleasant to see someone who pretends to be unshakeable (which comes across as arrogance)…. shaken to their core.

Indeed. But how will she react? Blackstaffs tend to be unreasonable people.

Not sure it really matters how she reacts. She’s powerless compared to Kate since Kate has the Admin Rights to the world. Which means if Blackstaff tries anything, Kate can delete her.

isn’t that last speech bubble divisive?

Not with enough Charisma. 😉

… I didn’t realize Kate was playing an Evil alignment.

or, she was playing good alignment the whole time. and now we see the truth. dun dun duuun.

See to me feels more chaotic neutral, it reminds me of when you give a kid an awesome toy that can be used to annoy others and they can’t help but remind people of that even if they never use it as such.

And at this point they find out about how the game has evolved AI.

Hmm…. that does bring up an interesting question. What is the computer network that runs the VR simulation made of? Is it the standard server room everyone knows of, or is it made from some variation of the phylactaries that the Android girls use to house their consciousness? Shiden said the girls “souls” were based on thousands of different brain scans from women all over; how he got them might be an interesting story, but anyway.
The VR interface has to read the brains of the users, both Android and Human plus one Demon, so what if it was scanning them and building an algamam personality; a magical/silicon equivalent to biological evolution.
So if this budding intelligence is using Blackstaff as an Avatar and someone just said they’re going to do what sounds like a lobotomy….
