Muse + Enticer of multitude

Ave sodales,

Do the Muse (HoH:S) and Enticer of multitude (RoP:I) stack ? Meaning a character with those two virtues may force other characters to do personality traits rolls with a +10 bonus whenever the suggested act is sinful ?

It looks a bit powerful...

Neither HoH:S p.56 Muse nor ArM5 p.42 Free Expression modify personality traits directly.

Do you ask, whether the combination of ArM5 p.44 Inspirational and RoP:TI p.85 Enticer of Multitudes should be allowed? Since Enticer of Multitudes is "a version of the Inspirational Virtue that can only be used to manipulate people toward evil acts", I advise against that.

Cheers

I'd like to note I stated up a Dark Muse over here: timothyferguson.wordpress.com/2 ... ic-europe/

Hi,

Thoughtful blog.

FWIW, LeGuin beat Nozick to it in The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas, though her critique of utilitarianism comes from the opposite direction.

Anyway,

Ken

It must be a mistake in the French version of HoH:S because it does state Muse can grant or double the "Exaltation" Virtue, which is the French translation for the "Inspirational" Virtue in the core rulebook.

Sorry for the convenience,

The English version says "Free Expression."
