Thank you! Also as I'm prepping tomorrows writeup and mulling over ideas - is the idea that if someones social resistance is a nat 20 that there is basically no option to talk to them unless you spend a maximum energy bonus (because 20 + interaction difficulty - 0 for books sold)?
I think I'll give the patron headphones or in the worst sort of mood but in this (odd niche edge case) there's literally no option for me to succeed even at a basic interaction, is that correct?
Yeah. Really the only way to get through to them is to sell them books since you subtract that from the number to beat. So if they buy a few books, their number to beat is no longer 20 the next time they come in.
I’m not super into the capitalistic aspect of that but I didn’t want to introduce yet another number to track, like amount of times visited and subtract that. I guess I just wanted to keep it in theme and simple so I landed on books sold.
