'''Description:''' Compliment is your ability to pleased people that will want to help you. Pleasing to someone means complimenting the person, making jokes or any other actions that make you more sympathetic.

When dealing with people of the other sex, you can try to seduce them, doing so is often easier, but more risky.

'''Check:''' A Compliment check must beat your opponent Judgment in order to be effective.

Most people don’t mind receiving compliments, so influence modifiers are modifiers to the NPC Judgment resistance. But complimenting someone that does not like you is hard, ranks modifiers are applied to your checks making compliments made to people that do not like you more risky.

When trying to seduce someone of the opposite sex, both influence and ranks modifiers are modifiers to your Compliment checks, but you receive a +4 bonus to your attempt.

'''Total Failure:''' You have made an awkward compliment or a bad joke that hurt the NPC feelings and he loose one attitude rank towards you.
'''Action:''' A Compliment check made as part of general interaction always takes at least a long action, but it can take much longer if you try something elaborate. 
'''Try Again:''' Yes, but for each failure, you have a cumulative -4 penalty to your next Influence check for the same matters with the same person. On a total failure, the NPC is too angry at you to be influence by you again on this matter.
