A friend of mine is playing a fallen commisar and is looking just to do inspirational speaches and buffs to the party. He is the super social monkey of the group and really doesn't want to go outside of that. He would like to be slightly better in combat and we came up with this fix for some of his social buffs.

First let me say that trying to Inspire Wrath in enemies to hate themselves should be affected by Disposition (-30 in that case) and then they get a Willpower check to resist. It sounds like bunk (which is why I said no at the time) to incite them to hate and attack one another.

Secondly, we decided that the Inspire special portion of the Command skill should be a half action. Basically barking orders at his marine teamates so that they kills stuff better.

Anything else sound like a good fix?

Well, maybe I am against halving the duration of Inspire, every turn are 5 seconds (because barking them "Attack!" or "Smash!" will not encourage your mates as much as "Smash those little Imperial fools under your iron boots, my hypervitaminated bastards!") and the Inspire Wrath in enemies doesn't sound well to me anyway (maybe you can impose a penalty of -10 in their Willpower instead with a -10 Test) But I have another idea

The obvious alternative would be to make him pay for a minnion and purchase abilities like unholy devotion or radiant presence, but, you can give him a platoon of rebel Guardsmen or even Stormtroopers. An horde of Magnitude 30 or 40 as his "bodyguards", then he would be able to make good use of his social habilities. Of course, the Horde will be "free" (he would have to do a bit of roleplay and rolls to convince some loyal idiots to come to the cool side of universe).

By doing this, you will preserve the Social specialization of his character and will give him a good weapon in combat... well, 40 good weapons, indeed.

We did toss that Idea around too. I think I'll give that a shot, playtesting it out to make sure the marines don't feel outgunned. Thank you.
