POINTS
There are 3 types of points - Beauty, Kindness and Associations. These points will change as you progress, so you must keep track of them. To find your initial scores, take the letters of your first name and add 6. This applies to all values.
CONVERSATIONS
When you are told to engage in conversation, you must resolve the conversation as follows.
• Take note of the Beauty and Kindness scores of the person.
• Roll two dice for the person. Add the Beauty score to this number. This is it's Charm.
• Roll two dice for yourself. Add your current Beauty score to the number. This is your Charm.
• Whose Charm is higher? If your Charm is higher, you have complimented them. If their Charm is higher, they have complimented you. (In the case of a draw, repeat the rolls).
• If you complimented the person, subtract 2 Kindness points from their score.
• If the person complimented you, subtract 2 Kindness points from your score.
• Repeat the process until the Kindness score of either of you has been reduced to 0 (disgrace).
ASSOCIATIONS
Sometimes you will be told to Mention your Associations. As you will discover, using Associations is a risky business. The way you Mention your Associations is as follows:
• Roll 2 dice. If the number rolled is equal to or less than your current Associations score, you have been Advantageous. If the number rolled is higher than your current Associations score, you have been Disadvantageous. The consequences of either will be mentioned on the page.
Each time you Mention your Associations, you must subtract 1 Associations point from your current score. The more you rely on Associations, the riskier it becomes.
RESTORING BEAUTY, KINDNESS AND ASSOCIATIONS
Beauty
Occasionally, a page may give instructions to alter your Beauty score. An ACCESSORY may increase your Beauty, but remember that only one ACCESSORY can be used at a time.
Kindness
You do not begin with any MANNERISMS but you can acquire some. If you do, keep note of how many MANNERISMS you have. You may only demonstrate 1 MANNERISM at a time. When you demonstrate a MANNERISM, add 4 to your Kindness score and deduct 1 point from your MANNERISMS.
You may also restore Kindness points by taking a MOMENT. If you have been complimented and you have a MOMENT, you may use one to restore up to 4 Kindness points. After use, the MOMENT must be discarded.
ASSOCIATIONS
Any additions to your Associations score will be mentioned on the page.
TOPICS AND PERFUMES.
TOPICS can be used in conversations to cause 3 points of damage to your fellow person instead of 2. Any TOPICS will be in all capitals, and you may save them to use when you wish.
Potions can have varying effects and should be kept note of.
