Your diplomacy and trade expertise. Controlled by heart.

  • Buy. During the game, buying items requires a check against your negotiate skill score. A success allows you to purchase a reasonable item without becoming strapped. If you attempt to by an expensive item you must become strapped (or lose prosperous) to try the check. If the check succeeds you purchase the item without issue. If it fails you still gain the item, but it has a random flaw.
  • Convince. During a dispute you may target either the neutral audience, or any personality with no grit. If you succeed against neutral audience then individuals equal to your success margin join your intent. A targeted personality will automatically attempt an insight defense to contest your success margin. If you win the target will join your intent, otherwise the personality will remain neutral.
  • Monitor. You may use a project and a successful check to learn rumors in populated regions.
  • Retort. A special insight against social attacks. A retort requires a guard but cooperates with all other targets of the attack.
  • Sell. You may use a project to sell items as a complication. The margin you are going for is called profit. 5 profit will eliminate strapped, and 10 profit will add prosperous. 50 profit generates a treasure. Your success margin allows you to sell a reasonable item and gain 1 profit. Your failure margin is reasonable items that you sell without gaining profit. If you don't have enough items to cover your failure margin the remainder is taken out of profit (if any). Selling an expensive item is a single check, and generates 5 profit on a failure or 10 profit on a success.
