Smiley Leadership

[Teufelslama]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how high your leadership must be to pass the skill check after the church event? My Imp ist at 53 which wasn't enough.

there is only one merc available with 60 leadership (Thor) and then there is Raider with 91. So if 60 isn't enough your only option is to have a high leadership Imp or pay for the expensive Raider.

I dont think the Check is just a simple: Is your Number over Limit X.
Its more something like: Value X gives you Y% Chance to succed.

I figured that was only for skill checks in the open world, but it might as well apply to dialogue I guess

[Viper]

Its a dice roll ..not a comparison I think .For example a leadership of 80 gives you and 80% to succeed.

Raider is definately a good choice anyway. You will need a good leader later anyway.
But the way anyone else helped Smiley in that slave trader house?

So far all the tricky ones I have come across have been VERY high. Like I have 89 wis and constantly fail those. My leadership is about 30ish so I rarely, if ever, pass those. I just recruited one with a few skills my base team lacks but even that one was 85ish at best so I doubt it's going to pass quite a lot either. It's the free one I only just got around to getting that you can build yourself. It's skills capped at 85 I think but I don't know if that's normal or because of my test answers. It's going around on it's own building militia teams just now but hopefully when it does catch up on those it can help my main team with the leadership ones I currently keep failing.

IIRC even low 90's in some skills fails you. I have been noticing quite a few with stupid high requirements so if you are going to get a leadership one get the highest one you can but I fear even that might not be enough.

I know that this proves nothing but I tried that dialogue 20 times now, could not pass it.
I then reloaded the fight and would always kill the last enemy and then do the dialogue. That was another 12 times, with no luck.

I don't think its chance, it's just...is your stat high enough.

It's around 60. Hitman didn't pass the check at 58, so I reloaded and came back later with 62 and it worked.

Any way to reliably raise it? My Hitman has been training militia for ~2 weeks and still sitting at +1

I got one or 2 skills mags. I think one was random from the vendor in flea town and I got one for completing the Pantagruel Dramas quest. Training on the job is very slow in JA3 it seems. Having a trainer on the other hand is absurdly fast.

if you hire Raider for 2 Weeks he can probably bring you up to 90 leadership (my IMP at 85 Wisdom went from 50 something to 90 in that time).

[Torpex]

Passed the check with 85 LDR, if that helps.

[Alpha]

Thor did pass it, with just above 70

you can always hire raider, teach your imp and then send him back into the pot. One thing i do love about JA3 is the fact you can "use mercs with mercs" effectively making them as strong if not stronger and then discarding them as you see fit.
