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 one creature can be proselytized at a time, but a ~~[[Social~~ coprocessor]] allows a second proselytized follower.

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 one creature can be proselytized at a time, but a {{favilink|social coprocessor}} allows a second proselytized follower.

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}}.

==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}}.

<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>~~

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

~~AND~~

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

~~<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>

against the defence of

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

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

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