+Below are the notes on the design process. The approved rules are found in [[rules:influence]].
 **Design Goals** The following goals are considered relevant for these new rules:

-===== Influence Background =====
+**Todo** The following points still need to be addressed (roughly in order):
-You have pull in the mortal community, whether through wealth, prestige, political office, blackmail or supernatural manipulation. Kindred with high Influence can sway, and in rare cases even control, the political and social processes of human society. Influence represents the sum of your political power in your community, particularly among the police and bureaucracy.
-The influence background is bought for a specific city, and the influence of this background does not extend beyond this city.
-:1/0: Moderately influential; 1 influence point per month \\
-:2/0: Well-connected; 2 influence points per month \\
-:3/0: Position of influence; 3 influence points per month \\
-:4/0: Broad personal power; 4 influence points per month \\
-:5/0: Vastly influential; 5 influence points per month
-By exerting influence you can sway the bureaucracies and policies. Each month you can exert a certain amount of influence, limited by your Influence Background. Influence points do not carry over to the next month, and are lost if not used.
-==== Small Favours ====
-Arranging small favours can simply be done by placing a few calls. The costs to arrange something are dependant upon the beneficiary of the favour, and the legal scope (but cost always at least 1 point).
-  * For yourself, as a person: 1 point
-  * For someone else, or for an organisation you control: 2 points
-  * For a third party, regardless of the size of this party, i.e., both individuals, groups and districts: 3 points
-The amount of influence necessary is modified by the legal scope of the "request" (only one of these modifiers holds):
-  * The request is within the standard procedures of the government: +0 points
-  * The request is outside of regular procedures, but within legal authority: +1 points
-  * The request is outside legal authority, but justifiable: +2 points
-Influencing a semi-governmental organisation, such as a hospital or high school, incurs a +1 point cost because one has to work through the government to influence the organisation.
-By roleplaying the crucial encounters and discussions with individuals that hold sway, you can obtain a -1 point cost for whatever you are trying to achieve.
