==Affability==
<onlyinclude>Affability is a social skill. It allows you to influence how people feel about you, and use their fondness for you to push them a bit farther than they would go for others. Those with exceptional skill in affability Affability can talk others out of blinding rages or into potentially suicidal actions.

{{Underbar|width=900px|Relationship vs. Nature|The above rapport options reflect a personal relationship with another creature. The actions of any particular creature towards you are going to be strongly influenced by their intelligence level and their alignment in addition to their rapport with you. A helpful evil character may still stab you, and a murderous good one may still stop you from being stabbed. A helpful chaotic character may go out of their way to make your life interesting, even when you don’t want it to be, while a hateful lawful character may bend the rules to worsen otherwise trivial bureaucratic roadblocks for you. In short, these rapport values help determine what the creature does within the bounds of their temperament and duty towards you, not determine their actions towards you universally or reflect the actions they are taking against you right now. Similarly, creatures that don’t have a personal relationship with you don’t necessarily have a rapport that matches up with the actions they’re taking against you. Just because a creature attacks you on sight does not mean that their rapport with you is murderous, especially if they've never met you before. It is much more likely that they have standing orders to fire at those who cross the border, that they’re evil and they felt like picking on you, that they’re a brigand trying to rob you to make a living, or some other “business as usual” reason. And in each of these cases, their rapport ''with you'' would likely be indifferent or unfriendly. If there happens to be a strong racial enmity between your race and theirs, their rapport with you ''might'' be hateful. But they are ''extremely'' unlikely to be murderous towards you, as the emotions that power a hate stalker are very focused.  As a general rule, you should expect bandits to be indifferent, guards defending their home from armed invaders to be unfriendly, racial enemies with long-standing feuds to be hateful, and only the poor barkeep that you personally drove over the edge when you ruined their life (intentionally or otherwise) to be murderous. These rapport values allow you to use these skill abilities to talk yourself out of fights and make friends of those who would be your enemy because of circumstance as opposed to personal reasons. Remember, when it comes to rapport, the question your DM should be asking is “how does this creature feel about the character” and not “what is this creature doing to the character”.}} ====Check Modifiers==== {|class="zebra d20 zebra" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto; text-align:left; " width:60%;="900px"!Rushing Condition !!

===Minimum Rank 0 Uses===
===Rank 1 Uses=[[Tome of Prowess (3.5e Sourcebook)/Affability#Push an Agreement|Push an Agreement]]====Sometimes you can present an agreement or offer that the other party is hesitant to accept. Maybe you have to talk people into going along with a crazy plan or otherwise helping you out when they don’t really want to, or maybe they’re just being indecisive. You can push them a bit and get people to agree when they otherwise might not, just because you’re a nice guy who knows how to talk to people.</onlyinclude>
====Agreements that you push will fall into one of three categories for the target: favorable, tolerable, or repugnant. A favorable agreement is one that the target would accept happily, but has some minor reason not to do so immediately. You may need to push a favorable agreement on a target that is looking for a better deal than the one offered, a target that wants to discuss the agreement with others first, or a target that does not understand why it is in their favor. A step down from an favorable agreement is a tolerable one. These agreements must be something the target would consider agreeing to, even if it’s not something that would make them happy. Most hard-fought real compromises (political and otherwise) fall into this category. A tolerable agreement cannot involve the target knowingly doing something self-destructive, against their nature, or otherwise completely opposed to their values, duties, obligations, or self-interest. Repugnant agreements contain those that are obviously somewhat self-destructive, against the target's nature, or otherwise something that they would strongly object to. These are the sorts of things that people simply don’t agree to unless [[Tome of Prowess (3.5e Sourcebook)/Bluff|tricked]] or pushed. You may not push an agreement that would obviously result in the death of the creature. You may push an agreement onto one target as a 1-minute action. This time is in addition to whatever time was required to offer the agreement in the first place, which may include quite a bit of back and forth from both sides. Once you have presented an agreement and spent the required time pressing it, you make an Affability#Push check against a DC of 13 + the target’s CR + the target’s [[Wis]] modifier + the target’s rapport with you. Their acceptance of and feelings towards the deal are indicated in the check results below, as well as a minimum amount of time that they will abide by the various types of agreements. If you fail to live up to your part of the agreement (if any) and the target learns of your violation, they may also break the agreement regardless of the time that has passed. They may instead try to convince you to comply, depending on their temperament, the nature of the agreement, and the severity of your violation. If you wish to push the same agreement onto multiple targets, you must spend the 1-minute action and make a check for each of them, even if they're all allied. You make a check against each target individually. Note that if you succeed on pushing an agreement onto a portion of a group, you may still wind up with the whole of the group going along with the agreement. This generally happens when you convince a leader or a majority of the group to accept your agreement. While this can get an agreement in place, it won’t stop unconvinced members from attempting to sabotage or obstruct the agreement if they are sufficiently opposed to it. You will almost always have better results if you offer a better deal or convince more people of the merits of your plan (regardless of its actual merits). '''Special:''' If you propose an agreement or a course of action that the other party accepts without pressing or falsehood, no check is allowed. Because no check is needed. When both parties agree to a deal, there is no need to push it and no need for a period of compliance, since both parties will want to uphold it anyway. If you discern that a target is lying about their intent to complete an Agreementagreement, you may push it normally, of course. {{ToP Check Result|Push an Agreementdc=13 + target’s CR + target’s [[Wisdom]]mod + target’s rapport modifier|dc+10=They agree to the deal, and feel pretty good about it regardless of how opposed they were initially.

They will stick to the terms of an agreement for a minimum of 8 hours. After this time, they are no longer bound to uphold it, and they may break, distort, or attempt to re-negotiate the deal if they have reason to, such as agreeing to a repugnant deal. Additionally, their rapport with you decreases one degree if you pushed a repugnant deal.|dc-1=They agree to a favorable or acceptable deal, and feel ok about it at first. They will stick to the terms of an agreement for a minimum of 1 hour. After this time, they are no longer bound to uphold it, and they may break, distort, or attempt to re-negotiate the deal if they have reason to. Additionally, their rapport with you decreases one degree after this time if you pushed a tolerable deal. If you instead offered a repugnant agreement, they refuse the deal outright.|dc-6=They refuse the deal, regardless of its terms. New terms must be proposed if a deal is to be reached, and they should generally be better for the other side. If you offered a tolerable or repugnant agreement, their rapport with you shifts negatively one degree.}} </onlyinclude>{{SidebarUnderbar|Haggling|Haggling is common in the genre and people want to be able to do it, and this ability seems like it would be a good fit for haggling. Its primary function is to get people to agree to things that they wouldn’t normally agree to, after all... and merchants normally wouldn't agree to give discounts, now, would they? But haggling for every item also slows the game down substantially, offers a gear advantage similar to crafting all of your own stuff, and puts the whole spotlight on a single player while it is happening. As a result, but it is common in the period and people want to do itcan be somewhat problematic for games. This So while this skill ability can be used as perform the function, it is not a way to hurry core function of the process along to acceptable levelsability. It Instead, it is presented here as a sidebar instead an optional use of actual rules because some DMs really don't like that sort of thing. You this ability; you should confirm with your DM whether haggling of any sort will be allowed in the game. If allowed, any attempt to buy an item for less than or equal to what it cost the merchant, or to sell an item to a merchant for more than or equal to what they could re-sell it for, is considered a repugnant agreement. A discount or increase that they lies no more than halfway between the market price and the cost price (25% for most magical gear) is considered a tolerable agreement. There is no favorable agreement, since haggling, by definition, costs the merchant money if he agrees to sell at a lower price or buy at a higher price. Once you have determined the type of deal and are willing ready to allow make a check, you use the higher of the merchant's CR or the item’s level to haggle with determine the DC of this ability before attempting itcheck.
If haggling is allowed, you may use this skill ability to talk merchants into buying your gear for more money than they normally would and selling you their own merchandise for less than they normally would. In those cases you may simply offer a price and make a check against it. The seller may use the item level of the piece in question in place of their own level. Each 10% change in price that is not in their favor is considered a +2 unfavorability penalty to the DC of this check. In no case can you haggle an item to below 60% of its actual priceand fail, nor can you talk a merchant into buying something used from you for more than 60% of its actual price. By making this check you agree to simply buy the item at full price if you fail the check, so you can not make a haggle check for items you can not afford at full price. Similarly, you agree to accept the initial offer if you fail in your instead of making another attempt to drive up the cost. While this isn't how most is not the way a normal haggling negotiations go in lifeattempt would proceed, it is works as a way of keeping the only mechanical way to keep players haggling checks from just always pushing for the biggest gain and splitting the difference if they failtaking up too much time.}}<onlyinclude>Sometimes you can present an agreement, and the other party remains hesitant to accept it. Maybe you have to talk people into going along with a crazy plan or otherwise helping you out when they don’t really want to, or maybe they’re just being indecisive. You’re able to push them a bit, getting people to agree when they otherwise might not, just because you’re a nice likeable guy.</onlyinclude> This action requires five full-round actions worth of conversation, which can only occur after an agreement has been ironed out that both sides would at least consider. Any offer or counter offer that you push on someone has to be something they could consider agreeing to in general or it is disregarded. You can’t push someone to do something self-destructive, against their nature, or otherwise completely opposed to their values, duties, obligations, or self-interest.
After spending a minute talking them into it, make an affability check against a DC of 10 + their CR + their Wis modifier, + an additional modifier based on the terms of the agreement. Agreements the target has reason to believe are very favorable to them can decrease the DC by up to -10, while bargains they might believe are unfavorable may increase it by up to +10, at the DM’s discretion. You know what the check DC is before you attempt it, and your check against this DC is modified by their attitude towards you as indicated on the table above. Their acceptance of and feelings towards the deal are indicated in the check results below.===Minimum Rank 2 Uses===
Note: This skill may be used on ====[[Tome of Prowess (3.5e Sourcebook)/Affability#Improve Rapport|Improve Rapport]]====You know how to win friends and influence people, and a player by an NPC at some point, especially if smile or kind word from you can melt even the players are being indecisivecoldest heart. In those casesWith a bit of time, you should accept that everybody gets fast talked once can get people to like you more than they otherwise would. This is a natural shift in a whilerapport, and one that it might happen to your character once in is not magically enforced. If you mistreat or disappoint a while too. An NPC successfully using this ability on person after changing their rapport with you is not very different from one using the [[SRD:Suggestion|''suggestion'']] spell, except that they can’t force you are likely to do objectionable thingsrespond more negatively than before.

The activity or conversation can change as the dealresult of outside circumstances, and do not look unkindly on but it regardless of must continue for the full 10 minutes or you must start over at a later time.

No (Note that a negative rapport is one likes that applies a pushy salesman. New terms must be agreed to if a deal is ''positive'' modifier to be reached, and they should generally be better for the other sideDC.<onlyinclude>)
If you are attempting to improve your standing with multiple targets, you must spend the required time with each target and check against them individually. Your check is compared against each of their individual DCs, affecting those with a lower CR first. If you succeed on getting a portion of the group to like you, however, the rest may accept you more readily, even if you do not attempt to gain their favor as well. If you are worried about saying something terrible in front of a well-regarded individual, you can instead impress their friends and allow them to speak well of you.
===Rank 4 Uses===You may not retry this check on a creature during the same encounter, but you may use it on someone multiple times over multiple meetings. If you use this ability on a person who remembers you in a later encounter, their actual rapport modifier is replaced by a +5 DC penalty if it would be worse than their normal rapport modifier. It is difficult to remake a strong impression, after all.

If you discern that they are only faking their growing rapport with you can or just not hold an opponent back from attacking warming up as quickly as you if he has already started doing it'd like, or if he knows that you’ve already started attacking him.</onlyinclude> You you may include up to one additional person per rank in affability, though they must also be not yet engaged in the fightuse this ability as normal.
Using this ability is a standard action{{ToP Check Result|dc=13 + the target’s CR + the target’s Wisdom modifier + the target’s negative rapport with you, allowing if any|dc+10=You positively shift their rapport with you up to make an affability check against 3 steps, but no farther than helpful.

If you succeed, as indicated in the check results below, you give your opponents pause and they will not approach within 10 feet or attack immediately on their turn. If you wish to delay them after that point, you must succeed on the check again on your next turn or give them some other reason not to attack, such that they change their mind on their own. Any obvious attempt at escape as well as any obviously aggressive action by you or your affected allies automatically ends this effect, leaving your attackers free to do as they like. ===Minimum Rank 4 Uses===
'''Base DC:''' 10 + Character Level + Wis mod, +2 for each prior check this encounter<br>====[[Tome of Prowess (3.5e Sourcebook)/Affability#Delay Aggression|Delay Aggression]]===='''Check Result:'''*DC+10 and above: Your opponents aren't really sure how to proceed with your group. They don't even Sometimes people try to encircle or glare at stab you. This effect lasts up to 4 rounds, as long as before you don't take any offensive actions or attempt can give them a reason not to flee.*DC+5 to DC+9: Your opponents do not attack You can delay a hostile creature from attacking you this round or the next. They might circle around you, glare menacingly and taunt you, or your allies with just go attack something else, but they don’t take any offensive action against you or your nona well-participating allies this round or turned phrase. "Delay" is the next unless you attack them first or attempt to flee.*DC+0 to DC+4: Your opponents do key word here, as it does not attack last long and you this round. They may circle you or threaten you, but they don’t take any offensive action against you or your party unless you not hold an opponent back once the attack them first or attempt to flee.*DC-1 and below: If their intent was to bring violence to you, that is what your opponents dohas begun.</onlyinclude>
Use of this ability is a standard action. Make an Affability check. The DC for this check is 13 + the EL of the opposing group + the worst rapport with you in the target group. If any leaders of the group have a morale bonus or penalty to [[SRD:Saving Throw|saves]] or [[SRD:Attack Roll|attacks]], that is also added to the DC. You affect members of the group based on your check result, as indicated below, starting with those members with the lowest CR first. A creature that has already been attacked by you or your allies, or who has already begun to attack you or your allies, is immune to this ability for the remainder of the encounter. They still count as part of the group for the purposes of determining its EL, however, and are affected before any creatures with higher CR.
===Rank 6 Uses===Affected targets pause their aggression for 2 rounds. Affected targets will not approach within 30 feet (or approach further if they are already within this distance) or take offensive action on their turn. They may take defensive or support actions, however, including maneuvering for position, healing, buffing, and so on. If you wish to delay them after that point, you must succeed on an additional check on your next turn or give them some other reason not to attack, such that they change their mind on their own. Any obvious attempt at escape as well as any obviously aggressive action by you or your affected allies automatically ends this delay, leaving your potential attackers free to do as they like.

You may not retry this check during the same encounter, but you may use it on someone multiple times over multiple meetings. It is very difficult, however, to repeat the effect and make progress with someone you have previously used this ability on. After the initial time you use this on a person, they are treated as Hostile for purposes of this check (though their actual attitude towards you may be different). Note that this shift in attitude does not stack with the shift gained from the [[Tome of Prowess (3.5e Sourcebook)/Affability#Campaigner|Campaigner]] ability. You can not improve the attitude of an individual with the Campaigner ability any further if you have already improved it with this ability.

The effect of this is similar to the Seriously Likeable ability, but on a wider and less personal scale.</onlyinclude> If you have 10 minutes to address a crowdThis functions as the Improve Rapport ability, whether it’s from a podium or except that the chopping block, you can make an affability check against a DC of 15 instead becomes 13 + the group's EL + the average CR highest Wis modifier of someone with authority in the crowd group + the average Wis worst negative rapport modifier , if any, of someone in the crowdgroup with authority.

If you succeed on the check, you positively change indicated in the attitude of a number of people indicated by your check result by one step. In crowds of mixed CR, you always influence the lowest CR individuals firstresults. <onlyinclude>
You may reuse this ability on the same crowd multiple times as long as you have not failed so badly as to sour them, but no member of the crowd can be affected more than once. Later uses may be easier than earlier uses however, since the prevailing attitude of the crowd will eventually improve as you succeed. For those affected, this shift in attitude is natural and is not enforced by anything. If you mistreat or disappoint a person while their attitude has been changed, they are likely to respond more negatively than before. Even if you don’t mistreat the person, their attitude will likely revert back to its original level unless you spend time earning it.===Minimum Rank 10 Uses===

You can affect up to 1 target per 2 ranks in affability, but you compare your roll to the DCs for each effect to see which are suppressed and which are not.
You may use both this ability and the [[Tome As a standard action, you can make an Affability check to suppress morale, rage, confusion, fascination, or other emotion effects on other creatures within a radius of Prowess (3.5e Sourcebook)/15' plus 5' per two ranks you possess in Affability#Let’s Not Be Hasty|Let’s Not Be Hasty]] ability as part of the same standard action. When Effects that you benefit from or suffer are using both abilities at excluded from this, but otherwise all effects in range are targets of this ability, including friendly effects. Each effect has a DC equal to its save DC + its level in the same timecase of spells like Mindless Rage or Bless, you or 10 + the effect user’s character level + the effect user’s Cha modifier in the case of class abilities like Rage or Inspire Courage that otherwise have no save. You make only make one roll a single check, and compare it against all target DCsto each DC to determine if and how well the ability has been suppressed as shown on the table below.

===Rank 12 Uses=[[Tome of Prowess (3.5e Sourcebook)/Affability#Call of Serenity|Call of Serenity]]====You can direct your calming voice to desired targets, rather than letting it wash over those nearest you. When you use Voice of Serenity, you can affect all creatures in a cone out to 10' per rank in Affability, instead of the normal area.
===Minimum Rank 14 Uses=[[Tome of Prowess (3.5e Sourcebook)/Affability#Do it for Me, Please|Do it for Me, Please]]====Sometimes people walk off buildings, just because you asked nicely. This is similar to your [[Tome of Prowess (3.5e Sourcebook)/Affability#Push an Agreement|Push an Agreement]] ability, except that you can convince people to do things against their natures or that are suicidal.</onlyinclude> The DC for this check is 10 + their CR + their wis mod. Your check result is modified by their attitude towards you and towards your request. If you are asking someone to do something that is just against their nature, their attitude towards you temporarily moves one step negative. If you are asking someone to do something obviously suicidal, their attitude towards you temporarily moves two steps more negative. These temporary shifts likely become permanent shifts, as determined by your check result. So while it isn’t especially difficult to get them to fulfill your request, it is hard to make them continue liking you afterwards.

People are weird like that.*DC+5 to DC+9: They perform your request. The shift in attitude as Creatures with a result of CR less than your request, while permanent, is reduced CR - 6 have their rapport shifted positively by one stepdegree, to a maximum of friendly.*DC+0 to DC+4: They perform don’t necessarily become your requestally, but they may try to convince any remaining hostile members of the shift in attitude based on it is permanent.*DC-1 group to DC-5: They refuse to fulfill just let you go about your requestbusiness. Their attitude towards you shifts negatively one step.*DC-6 and below: They refuse to perform the task you ask of themThis is a [Charm] effect, and their attitude towards you immediately shifts to unfriendly. If it was already unfriendly, it shifts will not affect creatures immune to hostile. If it was already hostile it stays there, but they like you even less.
