These are only a brief summary of a creature's disposition. The GM will supply additional nuance based on the history and beliefs of the characters you're interacting with, and their attitudes can change in accordance with the story. The attitudes are detailed on the [Conditions](/conditions) page and are summarized here. \n No one can ever change the attitude of a player character with these skills. You can roleplay interactions with player characters, and even use Diplomacy results if the player wants a mechanical sense of how convincing or charming a character is, but players make the ultimate decisions about how their characters respond.\n\nItem Bonuses for Diplomacy\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
