Okay, making sure I understand this. I take, for example, wits + Socialize and divide it by 2?

Exactly!Okay, so that would be 3 + 0 (since I don't have anything down for Integrity) /2 = 1.5 rounded up so, 2?
I'm keeping this.You should also decide if a Minor Intimacy is strong enough for you to be persuaded to do this favour for a stranger. See:
• Persuade: The persuade action allows you to convince
other characters to perform an action or task that you
give to them. The extent of the action you can compel
with persuade depends on the Intimacies of your
target.
Without an Intimacy to support your influence roll, you
can only convince others to take relatively trivial and riskfree actions—begging a coin from a passing stranger is about
the limit. On the other hand, characters who have an appropriate Tie or Principle can be convinced to undertake great risks, dedicate their lives to a cause, or even
die in your name. There are three
categories of tasks characters might
be asked to undertake, each based
on the Intimacy being exploited:
Inconvenient Tasks: Characters
who have an appropriate Minor Intimacy can be convinced to perform
tasks that pose some mild danger or
hindrance to them, as long as it is not
severe enough to seriously disrupt
their life or livelihood—the prospect
of a severe injury, an angry superior,
or heavy financial loss is still more
than they will allow. With this level
of Intimacy, you can persuade people
to do things that take longer than a
scene to complete, if the amount of
time needed is not so long as to
disrupt the target’s life.
Example: “I need you to deliver this
parcel to that big house in Cinnabar
District, with the red jade lion statues
by the door. If the man on the door
has a scorpion tattoo, don’t leave it
with him—insist to see the master of
the house.”
Serious Tasks: Characters who have an appropriate Major
Intimacy can be convinced to perform even tasks that
carry the risk of extreme harm or impediment. At this
level, a farmer could be convinced to join your personal
militia despite the risk of dying on the battlefield, while
an apothecary might provide you with poisons even though
he faces imprisonment or corporal punishment for doing
so. However, they will still balk if the risk of death or ruin
is almost certain. Tasks that take extended amounts of
time are possible at this level, even if they require a longterm commitment such as joining an organization.
Example: “Just because he’s your father doesn’t make you
his slave—why should his fear deny you a place in AnTeng’s glorious uprising against its oppressors? This nation
needs heroes; men like you!”
Life-Changing Tasks: Characters who have a Defining
Intimacy can be made to do almost anything. At this level,
you could convince a devoted follower to hold off a Wyld
Hunt long enough to buy time for your escape, or make a
wealthy noble donate the better portion of his fortune to
your personal cult. Only in cases
where death or utter ruin are absolutely, unavoidably certain will they
balk, and even then the Storyteller
might decide they’re willing to do
it despite all odds.
Example: “I know the old scrolls said
the heart of this temple is guarded
by a fearsome beast of brass and
flame. I know it’s frightening, but
isn’t this why we came so far and
spent our fortunes, to be the first
ones to scavenge the Great Ziggurat
of Lost Zarlath? I’ll never make it
into the final chambers with my leg
like this—you’ll have to dare it for
both of us!”
My thoughts on that is after we nearly lost Sjet, we really need her in her armor and with her full panoply in hand. Then once that is acquired, it will help to keep her from getting skewered and we can face the other threats with higher confidence of success.How's it going? Sjet and Garret want to go to the Manse, but I figure if Conrad tells Sayuri about the beach encampment she might summon them over and they might change their minds, or you might all decide to go fix the Manse as the priority.
We put Sjet in a bubble.I do like the idea of not being killed.
Haha, hope I didn't make it too complicated. I considered just RPing it out, but hadn't rolled dice in a little bit and felt it was dramatically appropriate, lol!Ooooooooooohhhhh. Okay, I was thinking this was a lot of work just for Sayuri to hesitantly agree to allow Conrad to lead a small group of soldiers lol.
Naw, you're good. My brain was just WAY over thinking what I needed to do lol.Haha, hope I didn't make it too complicated. I considered just RPing it out, but hadn't rolled dice in a little bit and felt it was dramatically appropriate, lol!
