'''Description:''' Bluff is your ability to lie to people so they can act according to your wishes.

'''Check:''' A Bluff check must beat your opponent Wits in order to be effective.

Nobody like to be lied to, so all modifiers, both rank and influence modifier, are penalties to your check making the NPC more prone to like you less by having more chances to have a total failure. A failure does not mean that the NPC have notice that you are lying, only that your lie does not have an effect on him. A total failure means that the NPC have discovered that you are lying to him.

'''Total Failure:''' Your opponent see through your lies and loose one attitude rank towards you.

'''Action:''' A Bluff 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 each failure makes the NPC more suspicious about your intention, 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.
