Influence

Influence is a binary resource - either someone has influence over you or they don't. If someone has influence over you, it means that you care what they think about you. Their words carry weight with you, and can change the way you see yourself. By default, all adults hold influence over the PCs.

Each playbook has a section that describes how much Influence they give our to their teammates. You can also give out extra Influence, if you decide that your character cares about what a teammate thinks of them.

While you have Influence over a character, you have +1 ongoing on all moves towards them.

Gaining and Losing Influence
If you have Influence over another character, remember to take note of it.

If you would gain Influence over a PC that you already have Influence over, then instead you shift their Labels, one up and one down.

If you would gain Influence over an NPC that you already have Influence over, instead take +1 forward on the next move you make towards them.
