The "Race" part is under Appearance. The modifier listed there
is to the characters Appearance score. You didn't give us the
Humans Appearance score. I'm going to just pick a
number...say...44. So, an Elf viewing that character sees the
Human as having an Ap of (44 - 10 =) 34. Looking at the chart
listed there, under Appearance, that means the Humans effective Ap
is Average, which gives a +5 adjustment.<br>
<br>
Now, the characters IC is 17. So, 17 +5 = 22. That equates to "A:
Initial Appearance Reaction" of Table 1.20. Now you just start
adding/subtracting from that.<br>
<br>
We add "E" (+40), "J" (+40), "L" (-40+W).<br>
<br>
You said the listener (the elf) has a W of 14, so we plug that
into "L" and get -54. Yes, I'm using math wrong because I *think*
Richard was trying to say that if you have a high W score, you are
more likely to be able to 'force yourself to refuse' as opposed to
'force yourself to spill the beans', so to speak.<br>
<br>
The IC result is thusly: 22 + 40 + 40 - 54 = 48%<br>
<br>
Of course, if you do it "mathmatically correct", you end up with
22 + 40 + 40 - 26. Which gives an IC of 76%. But, as I said, I
think Richard was going for the "Higher W means you are more
likely to resist being influenced". So I'd use the first.<br>

type="cite">Hi all, <br>
<br>
yesterday evening i used the influence chance formula but i have
some doubts, can you tell me if the calculation is correct?<br>
<br>
the human player is trying to influence an elf.<br>
<br>
the human player has IC (nfluence chance) of 17.<br>
<br>
First of all i have to take into account the appearance reaction,
so the human is perceived by the elf as having an IC of 7 (17-10)<br>
<br>
Now, the suggestion is CLEARLY to the listener's advantage.<br>
The listener is a Personal contact of the influencer (i assume
this means that the two persons are friends, am i right?)<br>
Finally, the listener is under pressure from some other source to
refuse the request.<br>
<br>
So, according to the influence chance table on page 18, Book I,
the values are these:<br>
<br>
+40%<br>
+40%<br>
-40+W (the listener has a will score of 14)<br>
<br>
i end up with a 61% chance of success.<br>
<br>
7+14+40+40-40=61<br>
<br>
Is this correct?<br>
<br>
thanks in advance<br>
