	The characters can then take conversation actions in turn. Situational modifiers are added or subtracted based on the receptiveness of the audience and the appropriateness of the message.

Situational modifiers are added or subtracted based on the receptiveness of the audience and the appropriateness of the message. A successful conversation action awards 2 Advantage, with an additional one advantage for every time the threshold is beaten.

			Most conversational rolls are made against static difficulties. When a character who is present is directly targeted by a conversational action they can raise the difficulty of that roll as a free reaction. This is common with Intellect + Deception when a character denies the truth of another's claims or accusations, or Physique + Graces where a character uses their sheer presence to deflate the strength of their opponent's argument. In this case a reaction roll is made with a zero threshold of five by default (lower depending on appropriateness), and the result added to the static difficulty.

	A successful conversation action can be immediately followed by a roll to inflict a Vibe as a follow through action. The type of vibes available depend on the preceding conversation action. A character can instead attempt to move an NPC on a campaign "theme," either increasing or decreasing the strength of their feeling for it, or driving them to act on it. The difficulty of this depends on whether the characters are in agreement on the theme in question ("positive"), have no opinion ("neutral") or whether they disagree ("negative"). Note that two characters who oppose a theme are still positive, as they are both in agreement on that opposition.
