Description:

     Fast Talk - This is a mental attack against an opponent. If your character can Fast Talk their opponent's willpower down, they'll generally allow your schemes for a few moments while they work through what was just said. When the opponent figures out your trick, he's apt to become grumpy. This action takes about a minute to inflict [1+1] mental stun damage and when they get to zero mental Health they'll normally agree to most things until they regain stun damage through resting. You can't Fast Talk someone to less than zero mental Health.

     Increase Influence* - The Fast Talk feat may be used by a character to build Influence during downtime by blagging his way into the trust of people in important organizations. Each attempt takes two weeks of solid schmoozing, and if the attempt fails then the character may not attempt to gain Influence from that potential contact again. The director may apply modifiers to the check based on how well the character and the potential contact interact. Getting to higher levels of Influence obviously requires in-game access to more important people. Alternatively, if the character is cold calling for potential contacts, he may make a Gather Information check (see the Inquire feat) with a negative modifier equal to the level of Influence he is looking for. The dirt-digging takes a number of weeks equal to the level of Influence in which he is interested. Then he gets to do an Increase Influence check.
