How do I start a conversation? I have it written, but nothing happens when I try to talk to the person. And how do I do a persuasion skill check? |

First off I really struggled (and failed) with my module so I'm no expert.
I think you've created the conversation file but forgotten to associate it with the NPC. Right click on the NPC, choose Properties and the Basic tab. Right down the bottom is a field called Conversation. Click on the "..." button just to the right and choose the default conversation file for that NPC. If that's not it I'll think some more...
I intended to use a Persuasion check in my module but never got that far. The function I intended to use was GetSkillRank. You can get details on using this function and examples from http://www.reapers.org/nwn/reference/ . Look under Talents/Skills/Feat on the menu. That's as much "help" as I can give  . |

Persuasion is really quite useless, since you can try over and over again until it works. Of course without persuade skill the person won't talk to you but there is little sense in taking more than one persuade. I would just set the person not to talk to you unless your charisma is at a certain level. Use the wizards, text begins when, (choose condition), these can be nested within a conversation, so you can have one individual telling different, classes, levels, abilities, different things. I think to use it you type [Persuade] before the line of text, but best to check the forum index. |

I agree with your point but you can always set a variable if the first persuade attempt fails. It's always nice to have NPCs repsond realistically in this situation: "We already talked about this!", or similar. |

Thats true. The other problem with persuade is that is set low, medium, or difficult. It is not set as a normal dc check. So if you set it to easy anyone with a persuade check will succeed. At hard only those who have pushed the skill will succeed. So medium seems to be the only reasonable setting in most cases. Knowing this a player might spend just enough to get that skill to the appropriate level, knowing they will almost always get their way, even if a variable is set. I guess it is not totally useless just broken. |
