Rumors and Gossip

[Jewel]

Characters may use the Courtier skill to spread gossip. To do so, they must succeed at a Courtier (Gossip)/Awareness check against a TN equal to 15 plus the target's Glory x5, minus their Infamy x5. If the rumors involves multiple characters, calculate the TNs for every character involved and then use the highest TN. If the rumors involves no characters at all, calculate the TN of the rumor as if it involved a Glory 3.0 character (TN 30). Characters may call a Raise on this roll to conceal the fact that they are the source of the gossip.

The actual phrasing of the gossip must be posted in the your private forum along with your roll (ie, the GM will be copy/pasting your rumor into the general rumor thread). In order to save us time, please note if your roll is a success or failure.

A separate check must be made for each piece of gossip you wish to spread in this manner. The number of rumors a character may spread in a given day cannot exceed their ranks in the Courtier skill.
