{{skill

|description = '''Diplomacy''' involves etiquette, social grace, tact, subtlety, and a way with words. This skill represents the ability to give others the right impression of yourself, to negotiate effectively, and to influence others.
|ability = Charisma

|training = No
|check = The player may use diplomacy to turn conversations to their advantage in NWN2. The check is made against a set DC dependent on the stubbornness and/or friendliness of the NPC being spoken to.
|special = A [[half-elf]] has a +2 racial bonus on diplomacy checks; the master of a pig [[familiar]] receives +3 to diplomacy.
|use = Selected (conversation)
}}

==Special==

5 or more ranks in [[Bluff]] gives a +2 bonus on [[Diplomacy]] checks, [[Disguise]] checks, [[Intimidate]] checks, and [[Sleight of Hand]] checks.

5 or more ranks in [[Lore: Nobility and Royalty]] gives a +2 bonus on [[Diplomacy]] checks.

==[[DnD 3.5]] comparison==
Diplomacy checks in 3.5 have a DC based on the Initial Attitude of the NPC (Hostile, Unfriendly, Indiffferent, Friendly, or Helpful). Successful diplomacy checks move the NPC's attitude towards Helpful while failures can lower the NPC's attitude towards Hostile or remain unchanged. NPC attitudes can move more than one category with a high enough roll, i.e. Unfriendly to Friendly or even Helpful.

== NWN comparison ==
*NWN divided diplomacy into two skills, persuade and [[taunt]]. Persuade has been renamed Diplomacy for NWN2, but Taunt remains as a separate skill.

== Notes ==
Diplomacy will not always work, even when presented as a option. Some skill checks will fail no matter what. This is the case with Caleb (Though this is due to a bug) and Okku (outside the city's gates). These fail because the events that then occur are imporant to the plot.

== Gameplay Notes ==
On the BGTSCC server the calling of unique planar beings include a Diplomacy check if you try to bind them. See https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Summoning under Named Planar Beings for more information.

|training=Yes
|check=The base difficulty class (DC) of this task is determined by the value of the item, and modified by the type of emulation the character is attempting:
|use=Automatically applied whenever a character attempts to use or equip an item normally unusable by his class, race, or alignment.}}

Emulate a Class: Minimum DC11

''NOTE: BGTSCC Uses the Hardcore mode calculations for this skill for scroll use, which are DC=25+Spell Level.''

Use a Wand: DC10

Also, scrolls with higher than minimum possible caster level have increased DC.

==Special==

5 or more ranks in [[Linguistics]] gives a +2 bonus on [[Use Magic Device]] checks.

==Notes==
*Unlike in NWN1, the player can now gain ranks in Use magic device with any class.
*Note that UMD does NOT allow a character to use weapons or armour for which they lack proficiency. For example, a Wizard can NOT use a magical warhammer just because he has UMD.
*Note: Tiny races like Deep Gnome STILL can not use Longbow even with approriate UMD.

==Known Bugs==
*If a character needs to have Use magic device to equip a wearable item and if that character must use either a [[Cha]]risma or skill boosting item, spell, or effect to equip the item using the Use magic device skill, that character will lose the equipped item upon area transfers. The item is not simply un-equipped as it should be. It's actually deleted from inventory. ''This problem is fixed with the 1.12 patch.''
*A [[Wizard]], [[Sorcerer]], or [[Bard]] that has enough points in this skill to turn a red (unusable) scroll to white (useable) can use the scroll without making a skill check. This will happen regardless of the gameplay difficulty level. The reason why this is a bug is that with this ability, they can use [[Cleric]], [[Druid]], [[Ranger]], or [[Paladin]] scrolls without fail and without making a skill check. According to PnP rules, a skill check would be required in this situation. ''This problem does not persist in patch 1.23, with some exceptions. See talk page for more details. ''
*A [[Cleric]], [[Druid]], [[Ranger]], or [[Paladin]] that has any skill in Use magic device that attempts to cast an in-class spell from a scroll but does not actually have that same spell currently memorized and available to cast must pass the Use magic device skill check if playing on hardcore difficulty or higher. For example, if a [[Cleric]] that does not have [[Restoration, lesser|Lesser Restoration]] memorized, has at least 1 rank of Use magic device, and attempts to cast [[Restoration, lesser|Lesser Restoration]] from a scroll, that [[Cleric]] must pass the skill check against 25 + the [[Innate_level|innate]] spell level of the scroll (2 in this case for a total DC of 27). The opposing skill check is a d20 random die roll + total Use magic device skill. As such, this will most likely result in failure to cast the spell from the scroll because the caster would need at least a skill of 7 to even have a chance (rolling a natural 20) to succeed. ''This problem is fixed with the 1.12 patch.''

'''Specifically bugged lines of script''':
The ''x2_pc_umdcheck'' script tests to see if a spell is being cast from an item and makes the Use magic device skill check if necessary. However, there were several problems with the patch 1.06 version of this script. '''*This section needs to be updated to the 1.21 version of the script.'''

*Lines 74 to 86 of the code specifically checks to see if the user is a bard, wizard, or sorcerer. An '''or''' condition is used to make this check. However, the check doesn't test to see if the item is prohibited from use or not. Any character that has even a single level in any of these classes will pass ALL Use magic device checks for casting spells from scrolls because of this section of code. This section needs to be changed to check the item properties of the scroll against not only these classes, but all spell-casting classes (such as clerics, druids, ranger, and paladins) to see if a skill check is needed.

*Lines 88 to 99 of the code are old (from NWN1) and should be re-written. This section performs an '''and''' operation against ''not'' having the skill, not having levels in rogue, not having levels in assassin, and not having levels in shadowdancer. This section indirectly permits clerics, druids, rangers and paladins to cast scrolls from their classes. However, like lines 74 to 86, it does not perform the check properly. Instead of comparing item properties and classes, this code assumes that if you don't have any ranks in Use magic device and that you aren't one of these three tested classes, that you MUST therefore be permitted to use the scroll by default. This assumption was made invalid with the changes to the NWN2 implementation of the 3.5 version of the skill - permitting ALL classes to take it. This section causes any cleric, druid, paladin, or ranger with a single point in the skill to have to pass a skill check later in the script in order to cast the spell from scroll.

*Lines 101 to 110 of the code perform a very poor check in order to once again help out clerics, druids, rangers, and paladins. However, it only tests for memorized spells, not spells that are known. As such, any cleric, druid, paladin, or ranger that reaches this point in the script and has the spell currently memorized (and castable) casts the spell from the scroll without a skill check. But any such character that does NOT have the spell currently available for casting falls through this check and must make a skill check later in the script. For example, all clerics have the ability to cast [[Restoration, lesser|Lesser Restoration]]. However, if that spell is not memorized and the cleric has any ranks in Use magic device, this check fails and the caster must pass a skill check (and will most likely fail that check) to cast the spell from scroll.

*Intimidate check can also be used to demoralise an opponent and it is opposed by the target’s modified level check. If you win, the target becomes shaken for 1 round. A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. You can intimidate only an opponent that you threaten in melee combat and that can see you.

Diplomacy checks in 3.5 have a DC based on the Initial Attitude of the NPC (Hostile, Unfriendly, Indiffferent, Friendly, or Helpful). Successful diplomacy checks move the NPC's attitude towards Helpful while failures can lower the NPC's attitude towards Hostile or remain unchanged. NPC attitudes can move more than one category with a high enough roll, i.e. Unfriendly to Friendly or even Helpful.

Diplomacy will not always work, even when presented as a option. Some skill checks will fail no matter what. This is the case with Caleb (Though this is due to a bug) and Okku (outside the city's gates). These fail because the events that then occur are imporant to the plot.

}}

==Special==
If you have 5 or more ranks in Acrobatics, you get a +2 bonus on Athletics checks. If you have 5 or more ranks in Athletics, you get a +2 bonus on Acrobatics.

==Server Notes==
Acrobatics is a combined skill governing the pnp skills of Balance and Tumble (Perform (Dance) could be considered part of it, too).

Acrobatics now allows tumbling past opponents (DC 25 check to move behind your opponent), and to immediately end any Knockdown effect on you with a kip-up (DC 35). This is not Knockdown immunity -- you must use the Tumble action from your combat actions bar to break an ongoing KD effect manually. In addition, new Knockdown functions (like the new Knockdown code) will reduce the duration of a successful knockdown on you from 6 seconds to 2 seconds if you succeed at the kip-up check. Tumble/Acrobatics still applies its passive +3 AC bonus for now, but this will likely be turned off and moved to buffing [[Fighting Defensively]] AC instead during the PvE rework.

Parry

2022-08-31T20:48:51Z

198.41.242.169:

{{skill
|description = Parry allows the character to focus totally on defense, blocking incoming attacks and making spectacular counterattacks. The character receives a +4 dodge bonus to armor class, but is unable to make regular attacks, cast spells, or use items. The dodge bonus increases by +2 if the character has 5 or more ranks in Parry. This bonus increases to +6 if the character has 25 or more ranks in Parry, for a total of +10 bonus to AC.
|ability = Dexterity
|classes = [[Barbarian]], [[Bard]], [[Cleric]], [[Druid]], [[Fighter]], [[Monk]], [[Paladin]], [[Ranger]], [[Rogue]], [[Swashbuckler]]; [[Arcane trickster]], [[Assassin]], [[Blackguard]], [[Divine champion]], [[Duelist]], [[Dwarven defender]], [[Eldritch knight]], [[Frenzied berserker]], [[Invisible blade]], [[Red dragon disciple]], [[Shadow Thief of Amn]], [[Shadowdancer]], [[Warpriest]], [[Weapon master]]
|training = No
|check = The DC is the modified attack roll of the incoming blow. A successful Parry check means that the attack does not damage the defending character, even if the roll would have overcome the character's armor class. A character may only parry a number of attacks per round equal to the number of attacks per round available to the character.
|special = If the parry is successful and the difference between the roll and the DC is ten points or greater, a counterattack occurs. A counterattack is a free attack made by the parrying character against the parried opponent. The first counterattack in a round is made with a full attack bonus and subsequent counterattacks are made at -5, -10, -15, and so on.
|use = Select the Parry mode. The character will remain in Parry mode until the mode is exited.)}}

==NWN2 Implementation==
For arguments sake and to make it all easy to calculate, take for example two characters:

Parry skill user: '''ranger '''20 (DEX oriented)<br />Attacker: '''fighter '''20 (STR oriented)

Parry skill roll = 1d20 + 23 (maxed parry skill) + DEX mod - 2 (armor check penalty )

Parry DC = incoming blow = 1d20 + 20(BAB of fighter) + 4(weapon) +2 ([[Weapon focus]] feats) + STR mod

Assuming that the fighter's STR mod is equivalent to the DEX mod of the ranger and that they both roll exactly the same on the d20, a character with maxed parry will avoid being hit 50+% of the time, which is balanced (Note: Not statistically correct - in the above example the parry adjustments are at -5 with equivalent ability modifiers compared to the incoming blow adjustments and the parry would only be successful 30% of the time; if the parry and incoming blow have the same adjustments the parry will have a 52.5% success rate). The AB of the ranger in this example is not added to the parry check.

If the parry check exceeds the DC by 10 (5 with [[Improved parry]]), a riposte attack opportunity is triggered. This does not result in an automatic hit - instead, one attack at the highest BAB is made, which can miss like any other normal attack. Only the first riposte attack is made at max AB; the ones following take cumulative -5 penalties.

If a parry check is failed, it also does not result in an automatic hit. The attacker's blow is then compared to the parrying character's AC normally.

Using a '''duelist''' instead of a ranger results in different calculations: at level 7, the duelist will add his level to the Parry skill use. Also, the duelist will not typically have an armor check penalty. This increases the parry roll by 9 points, tipping the balance in the duelist's favor (Note: this increases the chance of successful parry to 70% and a chance of a riposte attack opportunity at 26%; 48% with [[Improved Parry]]). Likewise, taking the Skill Focus (Parry) feat will add another 3 points.

==Bug Notes==
A bug occurs because of how the engine handles multiple attacks. It groups all of a character's attacks into three "flurries" made at the beginning, middle, and end of the round. If an attacker makes two attacks in the first "flurry", the parry check will not be made against the second attack. This translates to the parrier being able to parry three attacks per opponent, yet can still parry more attacks from other opponents. This issue has been neither fixed, nor the description changed to reflect a deliberate balancing effect, since its original existence in the first game.
