[PnP] Influence chance formula

[Paul L. Ming]

Hiya.

   Yeah, some folks would say "What a crappy system!" or "It sucks 
because it's so unclear!".  Personally, when I see a system that has 
'rules' like this....ones that can be interpreted differently, yet when 
you play the game and find something that says "Because of X, there is a 
-Y penalty to influence chance", and it all works out regardless of how 
you interpreted the rule. Well, that, my friend, is a perfect example of 
a superior system/rule for a RPG.

   So, yeah, use what feels right to you and stick with that. 
Consistency is key. :)

PS: On a semi-totally unrelated note...my Dark Dungeons RPG campaign 
just ended Sunday with a near TPK. Group and I decided to switch games 
and do something new. Powers & Perils is a serious contender. :)
