'''Influence Skills''' are special skills used by character's to influence other characters. The higher the skill score, the better the chance of pulling off that particular skill. Each skill is tied to an [[Influence|Influence Style]], which determines how many dice can be rolled (1-10). The skill point indicates what a player must ''roll under'' to achieve success. The more difficult the challenge, the more dice must be under the skill point.

==Example Skill Roll==
A player character is attempting to shame a non-player character, a task that has a difficulty of 4. [[Shame]] falls under the [[Cultural]] influence skill. The character has a Cultural score of 7 and a Shame score of 5. This means that to succeed, the character rolls 7 total dice, and must have 4 dice be a 5 or lower (4 is the task's difficulty level, 5 is the character's skill score).

==Character Creation Skill Points==
Upon [[Character Creation]], players are given 12 total points to put into Influence Skills.
