Anyone written a good haggle move?

1. Yeah, but they spelled it “Hack and Slash”.

2. If you’re haggling, I would argue it’s because you have leverage. Otherwise you’re just begging.

3. On the other hand, it’d be really cool to have a specific haggling move for, say, a merchant. With special effects.

4. Your money is leverage to a merchant. It is what they need/want.

5. When you haggle with a merchant of the Black Monks Shipping Company, you get whatever price you ask for, plain and simple. You also get +marked, and merchants of the Black Monks will not sell to you or anyone that carries your blood until you perform a service to cleanse yourself of the mark.

6. Isn’t haggling implied in the Supply move?

7. It’s also in the minus Charisma prices

8. I forgot about the Charisma discount.

9. Sage LaTorra just +1’d my comment. I now feel justified in substituting Hack and Slash for haggling in my game. 😉

10. When you haggle with an friendly merchant, roll+cha. On a 10+ both, on a 7-9, choose 1:

    -The merchant doesn’t resent you.

    -You are able to knock a reasonable amount off the price.

    When you haggle with an avaricious merchant, roll +wis.  On a 10+, you get what you’re looking for for the price you want. On a 7-9, either you get the price you’re looking for, or the quality. 

    When you haggle with the Dust Dealers with a clear head, they will give you whatever quantity of dust you want at whatever price you want, no fuss, provided you share a snort with them. When you haggle with the Dust Dealers while fucked up by Dust addiction, choose 1:

    -You leave empty handed and desperate.

    -You pay whatever they ask for whatever quantity they will give.

    -You pay what you want for a tainted batch.

11. The Dust Dealers would fit perfectly into a Planarch game.
