Expanded Repartee: Befriend

Expanded Repartee & Reputation Action Rules, Page 6:

Befriend: You may make a Befriend roll at the end of each Act towards each person you were friendly to during the Act, up to a maximum number of people equal to your Panache.

If you were mean to them at any point during the Act, or in any way caused an increase of their SWORDS/Dislike in the Act, you may not make a Befriend roll towards them. You may not make this roll if you made a Taunt or Intimidate roll against them this Act.

You may not use this action towards someone whose SWORDS/Dislike of you is greater than their CUPS/Like and their STAVES/Useful and COINS/Useful ratings towards you. You may also not use this action against anyone whose total Like, Useful or Dislike of you is greater than 10 combined (or whose total of all four suits towards you is greater than 12) at that point, their concept of you is very strongly formed and unlikely to change without major on-camera events.

Roll Wits + Socializing, contested by the other persons Resolve + Scheming.
Your target number is equal to 5 + 5 x their Scheming.

Thier Scheming is used to represent their general Paranoia and possible Suspicious nature.

They add their SWORDS/Dislike of you to their Roll, and to the TN you need to hit.

If you are successful, their Like of you goes up by 1.

Failed rolls: If you fail the roll, their Like and Useful ratings towards you go down by 1 each. It cannot and does not increase their Dislike - that can only happen by mistakes that happen on-camera.

Raises: Each additional Raise on the roll grants +1 extra point of CUPS/Like or STAVES/Useful, as you wish.

Note: This does NOT replace the favors and gifts section of the Intrigue system of the Montaigne Sourcebook. It is intended instead to augment that system and cover any interactions between the PCs and NPCs that might have occurred offstage or been glossed over during role-playing due to time or plot constraints.
As a Player, you are NOT required to make Befriend rolls for any NPCs if you do not want to.
