Okay... finally managed that post. It only took about an hour, too! Maybe I'm getting faster.<br/><br/>I'm not very experienced with the social influence system, so I'm not sure I'm doing this right. But assuming I am, and considering the system assumes opposed actions are resolved as (Actor declares Charms -> Target declares Charms -> Roll dice), how will we be handling rolls? I couldn't roll in my post without doing it before you decide Sesus Baral's response.<br/><br/>Also, does Harmonious Presence Meditation affect Read Intentions actions? It's not exactly influence, but it is included with the other actions in the section described as "social influence actions". If so, I think that would bring Sparrow's dice pool to 16, assuming a basic stunt, and reduce the cost of the Excellency to 3 motes.
