Depends on the previous outcome. I think I'd adjust Tolerance rather than modify TNs or Preliminary rolls.zedturtle wrote:Point taken.

Re: Journeying on familiar routes
That's how I ruled it (increasing Tolerance). In Tales, when the party encountered Galion again (after having met him earlier in the Marsh-Bell, and since in that first encounter they'd done pretty well in the Encounter), I think I upped the Tolerance by 2 for that second meeting.
Tale of Years for a second, lower-level group (in the same campaign).
Re: Journeying on familiar routes
I'd concur with Glorelendil and Majestic and rather adjust the Tolerance. It might not be easier per se to convince the characters encountered of anything; after all, an Elf prejudiced against Bardings or Dwarves might not have changed his opinions of them. But depending on previous encounters they might be more (or less) willing to listen to the player-characters because of personal knowledge of these specific persons.
Re: Journeying on familiar routes
And it sometimes could be a different amount based on different circumstances. When our party of adventurers met Galion a second time, many in the group were new (only a few were familiar to him).
