Face Recovery
The complete lack of face recovery seems to relegate this mechanic to a one-off thing, at least until some story events have taken place to improve your status in the world (since the advancement from level and whatnot is pretty slow). And since anyone who engages in it is going to be reduced for a long long time, it seems unlikely that people would agree to it. Is this intentional?
Also, what's with the note about social group at the end? There's no mention of that concept anywhere else. - Tarkisflux Talk 06:50, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
- Regaining face is actually easy for the literate. Being praised for an action restores Face as per being shown support. Basically, if you do standard D&D group things and soak up the "your awesomes" at the end, you regain Face and may even go over.
- As for the second concern, again obvious for the literate. You gain bonuses and penalties to face depending on who you hang out with- the closer your alignment matches those of your chosen social circles, the more face you gain. Thus, if a lawful good character is teased out of an orc camp, he can just hang around paladins to gain more Face.--Change=Chaos. Period. SC 18:16, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
