如果巨人猎人们提前就做好了准备,那么他们成功的与巨人讨价还价的几率就会更高。
了解邻居:巨人们经常与附近的类人生物有关系,尤其是其他巨人。与他人交谈就可能会得到你想了解的内容,和你的猎物想要的东西/目标。(但要当心虚假情报)
留下印象:巨人(即使是善良阵营的巨人)需要知道他们应该认真对待你,否则他们很容易对你不屑一顾。证明你已经击败过一个至少与你的巨人目标同等大小和实力的敌人——尽管最好不是与巨人结盟的生物——做到这点并不容易,通常是个很漫长的过程。
打开礼物:像大多数人一样,如果你首先做出善意的表示,比如带去一份食品礼盒或者你的目标一直渴望得到的某件宝物,那么巨人们会更愿意倾听你的提议。给邪恶阵营的巨人带去足够的食品作为礼物特别重要,因为他们可能会吃掉访客。
巨人语言:许多巨人,尤其是那些智力属性不够高的巨人,不会说通用语。如果你一直等到你的目标看见你了,才施展巧言术或者通晓语言等法术,那么巨人可能会将其误认为是发起攻击的表示。即使是会说通用语的巨人也只会把它当成第二语言,并且认为用巨人语谈判是对他们的尊重。
剧透 - :
Giant hunters stand a better chance of coming out ahead in bargains with giants if they plan ahead.
Know the Neighbors: Giants often have existing relationships with nearby humanoids, especially other giants. Talking to others can reveal what to expect and what your quarry might want (but beware inaccurate rumors).
Make an Impression: Giants (even good-aligned giants) need to know they should be taking you seriously, or they are apt to dismiss you. Evidence that you have defeated a creature of at least equal size and power to your giant target—although preferably not one allied with the giant—goes a long way in this regard.
Open with Gifts: Giants, like most beings, are more open to hearing out a proposed bargain if first presented with a token of good intentions, such as a gift of food or a treasure that they desire. Evil giants are especially important to placate with appropriate food, since they might otherwise simply eat a human-sized visitor.
Speak Giant: Many giants, especially less intelligent ones, don’t speak Common. If you wait to cast a translation spell until your target can see you, the giant might mistake that for a hostile action. Even giants who know Common speak it only as a second language, and consider negotiations in Giant to be a sign of respect.
