Request

You ask something of a creature that is Friendly or Helpful toward you, putting it in terms it would accept given its attitude. Your Diplomacy check is opposed by the target's Charisma save. Some requests are distasteful or impossible, and even a Helpful creature would never agree to them. Attitude: Helpful 2 levels of Advantage, Friendly 1 level of Advantage, Indifferent no change, Unfriendly 1 level of Disadvantage, Hostile 2 levels of Disadvantage. What the target stands to gain or lose: significant gain 2 levels of Advantage, minor gain 1 level of Advantage, no gain or cost no change, minor cost or risk 1 level of Disadvantage, significant loss or risk 2 levels of Disadvantage.

Critical Success: The target agrees to your request without conditions.

Success: The target agrees, but may ask for extra terms or changes.

Failure: The target refuses, though it may offer a less extreme alternative.

Critical Failure: The target refuses, its attitude toward you worsens by one step for the rest of the encounter for daring to ask, and its Demeanor toward you drops by 1.
