{{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.
 
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]].
 
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}}.
 
==Proselytizing with Glotrot==
If the player’s tongue has rotted away due to [[Glotrot]], they will get this message when attempting to use {{name}}:
 
{{qud quote|You cannot proselytize without a tongue.}}
 
==Technical details==
There are two separate checks against MA, and both must succeed in order to successfully proselytize a creature.
 
<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>
 
AND
 
<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>
 
If both of these are true, the target is [[proselytized]].
 
==Immunity==
 
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 its nature. These include:
 
- Clones of the player character or their currently controlled body, such as those produced by [[Evil Twin]], [[Gelatinous prism|Gelatinous prisms]] or [[Gelatinous antiprism|antiprisms]], [[Hexagonal crystal|hexagonal crystals]], and [[Temporal Fugue]]. Clones budded from the use of [[Cloning draught]] lack this property and may be proselytized.
 
- [[Wraith-Knight Templar]]
 
- All [[Templar]] mecha, such as the [[Temple mecha mk II]], [[Temple mecha mk Ia|Ia]] and [[Temple mecha mk Ib|Ib]].
