Principled Organisation Methodology

Or: Organisations Are People Too Attitude

This is a formalisation of the rules to change the attitudes of an organisation, touched upon in the Socialise tree.

Organisational Principles

Organisations have Principles, much as people do. These have three effects:

  • Any member of an organisation adds the organisation's Principles to their own, when they are acting in an official capacity.
  • An organisation as a whole can be the subject to a bargain, persuade, or threaten roll, to which its Principles are applied.
  • Principles determine roughly how an organisation behaves, a narrative benefit in its own right.

Influencing Organisations

You may make any kind of social influence roll against an organisation. This is an extended roll against a Difficulty equal to the organisation leader's Resolve, using Attribute+Ability combinations appropriate to your stunts.

These can be considered as a Cultural project (see Unified Project Methodology). The project's rating is equal to the organisation's Magnitude:

  • 1-dot: goal number 2, roll once/week.
  • 2-dot: goal number 5, roll once/month.
  • 3-dot: goal number 25, roll once/season.
  • 4-dot: goal number 50, roll once/year.
  • 5-dot: goal number 100, roll once/decade.

You may not have more Cultural project dots on the go than your dots in Socialise.

If you want to use Charms to enhance your rolls or their effects, they must be activated at the beginning of the project and remain committed for the duration. Any special effects from Charms are applied to all members of the organisation, including Exalts - note that mortal members will never spend Willpower to resist it.

Organisations never initiate Decision Points unless their leader has Charms that allow them to do so.
