====== 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 [[legacy:skills:Diplomacy]], [[legacy:skills:Deception]], [[legacy:skills:Intimidation]] or [[legacy:skills:Society]] vs. the subject's passive Will defence.  If you choose to use Deception, your opponent may use the higher of their passive Will defence or their passive [[legacy:skills:insight|Insight]].  Your roll is modified by the subject's temporary [[legacy:rules:affinity|Affinity]], but a character cannot Make a Request of a creature that is Hostile or Enraged. 

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. 

**Special**:  If you used Intimidation on the attempt, the subject's temporary Affinity towards you drops one step immediately upon completing this action.

**Special**:  If you are using Society, you suffer slight on your attempt to Make a Request.
===== Equipment =====

No special equipment is required to Make a Request.  However, if you are using Diplomacy in the attempt, you may expend [[legacy:equipment:consumables#Luxury Items]], to a maximum of 15sp, to improve your chances.  The amount of gift items you spread out determines the bonus you receive for doing such, as described below.

^Amount  |  1sp  |  3sp  |  6sp  |  10sp  |  15sp  |
^Bonus   |  +1   |  +2   |  +3   |   +4   |   +5   |
