Re: Using Erotic Art Skill
what's the +1 rule? I think we should have game applications for this, like mechanically represent why people benefit from doing this.

Most Influence skills can go wrong, and cause offense (Bad reactions, or Very Bad to specious Intimidation): Fast-Talk when people see through your bafflegab, Intimidation when they resent your threats, Savoir-Faire and Streetwise when they dislike your high- or low-class manners, and Sex Appeal when you turn them off rather than turning them on. But Diplomacy at worst leaves you with the outcome of a reaction roll: It's the art of presenting an offer or suggestion in a form that doesn't itself provoke a reaction (though its content may do so). And while diplomacy may be used for transactions based on negative value ("If you don't do this we'll make you worse off"), it can be used just as well for transactions based on positive value ("if you do this we'll make you better off"). Duress properly in applied through Intimidation. Fast-Talk is used for fraud and misrepresentation, and Sex Appeal for (a common form of) undue influence. It's possible for either Savoir-Faire or Sex Appeal to be used for less blatant forms of duress, but they can also be used to invoke class solidarity, or even to appeal to people through sheer coolness, which I suppose might be considered a different form of undue influence. In (at least American) vernacular, "being diplomatic" can mean making suggestions in ways calculated not to provoke.
