 The NPC thinks well of the PC, and while they are unlikely to aid the PC without compensation, they will go out of their way to be pleasant.  They can be convinced to offer aid as long as it costs them nothing.  Social skill checks made for any purpose other than to improve the NPC's Affinity will have favour. The NPC thinks well of the PC, and while they are unlikely to aid the PC without compensation, they will go out of their way to be pleasant.  They can be convinced to offer aid as long as it costs them nothing.  Social skill checks made for any purpose other than to improve the NPC's Affinity will have favour.

-==== Deception and Affinity ==== 
- 
-You can use Deception to try to influence a person's Affinity.  Typically, this is done if you are attempting to pass yourself off as someone you are not (such as a noble, a religious figure or the like), or if you misrepresent a situation (such as convincing a person that you just saved their life).  If your deception is ever revealed, the subject's //permanent// Affinity will be worsened one step. 
- 
-==== Diplomacy and Affinity ==== 
- 
-This is the safest option;  it is nearly impossible to suffer loss of Affinity when attempting to be Diplomatic.  If you are //attempting// to reduce another's Affinity towards you, you actually suffer slight to the attempt if you choose to use Diplomacy to do so. 
- 
-==== Intimidation and Affinity ==== 
- 
-It can be quite easy to //scare// somebody into compliance.  However, if you do so, the moment that you are out of sight, the subject's //permanent// Affinity is reduced one step, to a minimum of Hostile. 
- 
-==== Performance and Affinity ==== 
- 
-Perhaps the most subtle of social Skills, Performance has the benefit of usually not causing loss of Affinity.  However, any attempt to use Performance to affect Affinity carries a slight chance of being misinterpreted.  If //either// die comes up showing a one, the attempt is a **Failure**, regardless of the total rolled.
