<div class="moz-cite-prefix">My interpretation of the rules is that
the human's appearance is effectively modified by perceiver's
race, it is not a flat plus or minus to the IC. In this case of
say, 18 Ap (low average Ap to other humans) may be perceived by an
Elf to be Ugly effective Ap of 8. But that is not Hideous and so
only has a -5 modifier to the IC. Rule 1.33611 lists the order in
which the factors are applied (+X then +X% then -X% then -X).
Note if the Elf is attracted to the gender of the human (generally
opposite sex) the Ap factor would be applied twice.<br>
<br>
I would calculate it to be: IC = (17 - 5) + (40% +40%) + (-0%) +
(-40 + 14) x = (12) x (80%) x (-26)= 9.6 - 26 = -16.4 = No
chance.<br>

Determining what "under pressure to refuse the request" means is
subjective.<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>
