-====== Make a Request ======
-**Time Required**:  1 minute\\
-**Skill**:  Varies
-You make a request of the subject.  This might be a plea for aid, a request for an item or asking permission to do something.
-Roll [[unbound:skills:Diplomacy]] or [[unbound:skills:Intimidation]] vs. the subject's Charisma defence.  Your roll is modified by the subject's temporary [[unbound:rules:affinity|Affinity]], but the character cannot Make a Request of a creature that is Hostile or Enraged.  If the subject is a member of a faction towards which you have Prestige, you may add your Prestige to your skill check.
-In addition, the nature of the request will modify your Skill check.
-^Condition  ^  Modifier  ^
-|The request would be trivial for the subject to grant  |  +3  |
-|It would be in the interest of the subject to grant the request  |  +4  |
-|The request would be difficult for the subject to grant  |  -3  |
-|Granting the request would not be in the subject's best interest  |  -4  |
-Granting the request would cause the subject harm, or significant risk of harm  |  -8  |
-  * **Success**:  The subject grants the request.
-  * **Failure**:  The subject either refuses, or they respond with a request of their own.  You may expend one point of an appropriate Prestige to turn this into a **success**.
-**Special**:  If you used Intimidation on the attempt, the subject's temporary Affinity towards you drops one step immediately upon completing this action.

-Aria wants access to some obscure documents, and approaches the curator of the priory's abbey to request access.  She has +1 Academic Prestige, and the Director agrees that this is an appropriate Prestige.  The curator has a Charisma defence of 12.  Aria is not trained in Diplomacy, and so suffers slight to her skill check.  She rolls a three, a four and a seven, and must discard the seven, leaving her with a total (with her +0 Charisma and +1 Prestige) of eight.  Even though the request would be trivial for the curator to grant, he instead asks her to retrieve a stolen document from a band of goblins before he accedes to her request.
