Your character seeks to ply his allure, charm and sheer magnetism to make someone else compliant to his will, typically to agree to a sexual tryst (but not always -- one can be seduced by wealth, for example). Or your character's aim might be some goal short of a physical encounter, such as getting a person's phone number, learning his or her address, or convincing a subject to do a favor with the implicit reward of romance. The same forms of coercion might also be applied on your character by inhuman beings, to make him agreeable to a private rendezvous that could mean his life<ref>[[World of Darkness Sourcebook|WoD]], p.84</ref>. [[Fame]], [[Status]], and [[Striking Looks]] all can play a key factor in an attempted seduction.
* The act of seduction has two basic elements, physical and social, and those elements tend to indicate stages of the overall process.

===Physical Aspect (First Stage)===
The first stage is based largely on physical attraction. Your character plies his appearance and demeanor to win the subject's attention and interest. This phase is typically non-verbal. If the seducer gets more successes, he gains the subject's interest. If successes tie or the seducer gets fewer, the subject is disinterested or needs further convincing (see below).
* '''Dice Pool:''' [[Presence]] + [[Persuasion Skill|Persuasion]] + equipment versus the subject's [[Wits]] + [[Composure]] + equipment.
* '''Action''': [[Instant]]
* '''Resistance''': [[Contested]]
* '''Equipment for Seducer''': [[Striking Looks]], alluring clothing (+1), an appealing perfume or cologne (+1) or an offered drink (+1)
* '''Equipment for Subject''': Existing significant other (+1 to +3), a headache (+1) or be in a really bad mood (+1)

===Social Aspect (Second Stage)===
The social aspect of the seduction begins after the initial contested action is complete. The social aspect involves dialogue and interaction between participants.
<center>'''The winner of the previous contested roll also gains bonus dice equal to the successes rolled before.'''</center>
* '''Dice Pool:''' [[Manipulation]] + [[Persuasion Skill|Persuasion]] + equipment versus the subject's [[Wits]] + [[Composure]] + equipment.
* '''Action''': [[Extended]] (10 minutes per roll)
* '''Resistance''': [[Contested]]
* '''Equipment for Seducer''': A good pick-up line (+1), an excellent line (+2), a mutual acquaintance (+1) or suggestive physical contact (+2) for the seducer.
* '''Equipment for Subject''': Existing significant other (+1 to +3), a headache (+1) or be in a really bad mood (+1)

===Resolution===
'''Seducer''': The required number of successes for the seducer equals twice the subject's [[Resolve]].
:: Once a would-be seducer is rebuked, no other attempts can be made to charm the same subject in the same scene.
'''Subject''': The required number of successes for the subject equals twice the aggressor's [[Presence]].
