	You can change the initial attitudes of non-player characters with a successful check. The DC of this check is 10 + 2 * the target's Will save modifier against charm effects. If you succeed, you improve the target's attitude to you by one step (see below), plus one additional step for every 10 points of margin on the roll. The hostile and helpful categories are special; to make someone helpful, or to move someone from hostile to unfriendly, takes an additional margin of success of 10.

	You can make requests of the creature. This is a Diplomacy check, using the creature’s current attitude to determine the base DC read in Table: Diplomacy Requests, with the listed modifiers. The difficulty is twice the creature's Will save against '''compulsion''' effects plus a factor dependent on attitude. Once a creature’s attitude has shifted to helpful, the creature gives in to most requests without a check, unless the request is against its nature or puts it in serious peril. Some requests automatically fail if the request goes against the creature’s values or its nature, subject to GM discretion.		You can make requests of the creature.
