Undomitable: Resistant to Influence Rolls
Indomitable makes you immune to influence rolls for 15 points.
What would a +1/lvl bonus vs. influence rolls be worth? My gut reaction is 2 points per level, or 1 point per level just be able to ignore (level) points in rxn modifiers ('Unimpressed'). So someone with Will 12 and Undomitable 4 rolls vs. 16 for influence rolls. Someone with Will 12 and Unimpressed 8 rolls against 12, but up to 8 points of reaction modifiers (appearance, status, reputation whatever) don't apply. |

Re: Undomitable: Resistant to Influence Rolls
High Status effectively includes resistance to Influence rolls (and good Reaction rolls) because (unlike other Reaction Modifier bonuses) it is not only added to one's own Reaction modifier but also subtracted from the Reaction Modifier of other character attempting or tending to influence one.
Try to Influence an NPC with +4 Reputation or +4 Social Regard, or who is Beautiful; there is no modifier to your Influence roll or to their Reaction roll to you. It's just like Influencing an NPC without those traits. But try to Influence an NPC with Status 4! You get a negative 4 to your Reaction modifier (compared to what you would get to a similar character without Status). He or she gets a -4 to his to her Reaction Roll.

but this sounds better; The above sounded awfully cheap for generic resistance for Will. Where is this from? I assume one of the Psi books.
