>speaking from personal experience, as
a yankee, who moved to the south, at a young age.. i had trouble with
understanding some >people, and being understood also.. it would lend well
in deadlands to being ridiculed, and have negative modifiers to persusaion >and
overawe. I like your ideas, and I think they are
viable hindrances, but I’m not sure you need a brand new hindrance to cover
what you’re doing. I would go with the lower level in language
to cover how hard it is to be understood.
But what you’re describing as far as negative modifiers to persuasion
and overawe due to speech impediments and the like can be covered by Habit. Habit is something the person does that
negatively affects other people’s reaction to them. You’ve got the same levels and a negative modifier to persuasion
for each level. As a Marshal, you
can simply rule a 2 point Habit gives a –1 to persuasion and overawe instead of
a –2 to persuasion alone if that fits your situation. Anyway, that’s my two cents for what it’s
worth. Clint Black "You smell that? Do you smell that?
...Ghost Rock, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the
smell of ghost rock in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed,
for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em,
not one stinkin' Yank body. The smell, you know that sulphurous smell, the
whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end..." |
