Words can be the
most powerful weapon of all in Solar Echoes, and a wordsmith
character type is what we call the “Negotiator.” Characters
investing in Persuasion will find a variety of options in their
arsenal, using either diplomacy, bluff, or intimidation. Relns and
Humans are the most effective negotiators, and will want to invest
heavily in Awareness, Disguise, Discern Motive, and Persuasion
skills. Talents such as Convincing Lie, Fast Talker, Crazed
Exuberance and Culturally Sensitive give bonuses during dialogue
encounters, and it may also help to consider one of several
personality types that will add further bonuses to bluffing,
intimidating, or the use of diplomacy. Helpful tools of the trade are
disguise kits, and translators can sometimes be helpful (though more
than a bit imprecise!) but being multi-lingual will provide an
immense advantage in almost every dialogue encounter.
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.
