Description:
Want to convince an aging aristocrat that you’re his long lost son and heir to the family fortune, or perhaps tell a group of bandits that stepping within ten feet of you will result in their immediate death? Bluff can help you to do just that. This skill is the mechanic of lying after a successful skill bid. In addition, a character can counter a “Detect Lie” skill bid with Bluff.
To attempt a bluff, skill bid is made. Success means the target believes your lie. Failure means your bluff was not believed. Another attempt can be made at a 50% penalty. If this rebid failed, no further attempts can be made.
If the modifiers raise the cost of the bluff by more skill then they have max, the bluff was unsuccessful by that player character and further attempts are impossible at that time. These rates are determined each time the player character attempts to use the Bluff skill.
