{{name}} is a skill which allows its users to attempt to recruit creatures to their side.

Using the skill takes 1000 [[action cost]], a full turn.

When the player uses it, they will be asked for a direction, then attempt to proselytize the creature standing next to them in that direction. A successful usage will convince that creature to join the proselytizer indefinitely. Only 1 creature can be proselytized at a time.

A successful usage will convince that creature to join the proselytizer indefinitely. Only one creature can be proselytized at a time, but a {{favilink|social coprocessor}} allows a second proselytized follower.

~~Proselytize~~ is an [[Ego]] ~~stat~~ based attack ~~that is defended against by~~ [[Mental Armor]]. However, a failed ~~proselytize~~ attempt will not make ~~creatures~~ hostile, unlike failing an attempt ~~to [[Beguile]]~~.

Mechanically, proselytize is an [[Ego]]-based attack versus the target creature's [[Mental Armor]]. However, a failed attempt will not make the target hostile, unlike failing an attempt at {{F|Beguiling}}.

Unlike beguiling, it is possible to proselytize creatures that have [[Mental shield|~~Mental~~ shields]].

Proselytize can be learned through[[water ritual]] with legendary [[Mechanimists]]; this includes {{favilink|Eschelstadt II, High Priest of the Stilt}}, who ~~is guaranteed to exist~~ at the {{favilink|~~six day stilt~~}}.

It is not possible to proselytize [[confused]] creatures.

==Technical details==

~~There are two separate checks~~ against MA, and ~~both must succeed in order~~ to ~~successfully proselytize~~ a creature.

Proselytization functions as a mental attack against the creature that the player is attempting to proselytize{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Skill|class=Persuasion_Proselytize|method=AttemptProselytization}}. If the attack penetrates at least once (and the creature is able to be proselytized), then it succeeds and the creature is [[proselytized]]{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Skill|class=Persuasion_Proselytize|method=Proselytize}}.

Proselytize's attack uses a '''singlet die''' of <math alt="1d8">1d8</math>. Additionally, it uses the player's [[Ego]] modifier -6 to determine PV. The defending creature gets +1 to its defense modifier if it is already proselytized or has been [[Rebuke Robot|rebuked]], and an additional defense modifier (equal to the effect level) if it has been [[Beguile|beguiled]]. Additionally, the creature gains a defense modifier equal to the amount of levels higher it is than you, with a minimum of 0. Thus the penetration roll against the creature has a PV of

<math alt="player's ego modifier -6">\text{Player's Ego Modifier}-6</math>

against the defence of

<math alt="~~1d8 minus 6 plus player's ego modifier is greater than or equal to the target~~'s mental armor~~. If they are already proselytized, they get +1~~ MA ~~for this check.~~">~~1d8 - 6 +~~ \text{~~Player's Ego Modifier~~} ~~\ge~~ \text{~~Target's MA (if already proselytized by another creature, +1 MA)~~}</math>

<math alt="Target's mental armor (MA) plus defense modifier">\text{Target MA} + \text{defense modifier}</math>

~~AND~~

See the [[Penetration]] page for more details, as the above is a simplification for the purpose of explanation.

~~<math alt~~="Player's level plus 1d8 minus 6 plus their ego modifier, greater than or equal to the target's level plus their MA, and if they're already proselytized, +1 bonus MA">\text{Player's LV} + 1d8 - 6 + \text{Player's Ego Modifier} \ge \text{Target's Level} + \text{Target's MA (+1 if already Proselytized)}</math>

==Immunity==

~~If both of these~~ are ~~true,~~ the ~~target~~ is [[proselytized]].

Certain creatures are explicitly unable to be proselytized by the player; this immunity is unrelated to creature stats or [[mental shield]], but is rather a special exemption due to their nature. These include:

* Clones of the player character or their currently controlled body, such as those produced by {{F|Evil Twin}}, {{F|gelatinous prism|plural}} or {{F|gelatinous antiprism|plural}}, {{F|hexagonal crystal|plural}}, and {{F|Temporal Fugue}}. Clones budded from the use of {{F|cloning draught}} lack this property and may be proselytized.

* {{F|Wraith-Knight Templar}}

* All [[Templar]] mecha, such as {{F|Temple mecha mk II|plural}}, {{F|Temple mecha mk Ia|plural}} and {{F|Temple mecha mk Ib|plural}}.
