Social skills

From Outsider Arthouse

Throughout the game, the player character will be given opportunities to attempt to solve problems using her social skills: charm, cunning, and seduction. If she fails, she won't be able to try again, but whether she fails or not, her social skills increase over time from use. Failing actually causes her social skills to advance faster than success.

Various potions can be used to improve social skills, and being excessively horny or hungry will have a negative effect on the player character's social skills.

Charm[edit]

Use charm to talk characters into things. Usually focused on being nice and conventionally persuasive. These are usually the hardest checks to make, but if they succeed you don't have to do anything else.

In addition to using this social skill, working as a maid or bar maid will also increase charm.

Cunning[edit]

Cunning can be used to make bribes, and to make bribes for less money. It is also used when the player character is being deceptive. These checks tend to be easier but they'll cost you a bit of G.

In addition to using this social skill, selling potions at the market will also increase cunning.

Seduction[edit]

Seduction usually involves promising sexual favors in return for whatever you're after. Generally, you'll have to have sex with someone to get them to do what you want. The difficulty of these checks is usually somewhere between charm and cunning.

In addition to using this social skill, prostitution will also increase seduction.
