Characters can
take on uncommon roles in Solar Echoes, though some races will have
small limitations in those roles. For example, the Reln can roll 4
dice for Influence-based checks (Persuasion), which gives him a
greater chance at rolling a high number. The Krissethi player from
last weekend decided to be the diplomat, but Krissethi's normally
only have 2 Influence dice. When creating a character, you are
allowed to raise 1 racial attribute by 1 (to a maximum of 4,) so the
Krissethi player decided she would apply that point to Influence. Her
Krissethi was able to roll 3 Influence dice when making checks, which
does produce a better chance of rolling a high number than 2 dice,
but on average-- because of the Reln's 4 Influence dice--a Reln
character will always do slightly better at Influence-based checks.
In the end, it was a good move for the Krissethi to take on the role
of diplomat, because the other character was the infamous Omul, which
starts with a natural Influence of 1.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
