-{{:abilities:seduction.png?nolink }} **Seduction** is an ability that allows a commander to attempt to convert enemy commanders to their cause.

 If there are no enemy commanders present, the seduction attempt does nothing, returning the message "[Seducer name] did not find any enemy commander". If there are no enemy commanders present, the seduction attempt does nothing, returning the message "[Seducer name] did not find any enemy commander".
  
-If there are enemy commanders, the seducer checks whether there is an adjacent friendly province to escape to after the seduction. If there is not, the seduction attempt is aborted, returning the message "With nowhere to run with the victim afterwards, [Seducer name] aborted the seduction attempt". An exception is made for [[flying]] or [[teleport|teleporting]] seducers, who can always escape to their capital and do not need an adjacent friendly province to attempt a seduction.+If there are enemy commanders, the seducer checks whether there is an adjacent friendly province to escape to after the seduction.

 The seducer then picks one at random to attempt to seduce. The seducer and the defender then roll a dueling [[DRN]] check, with the seducer adding their seduction value (9 for most seducers) to their roll and the defender adding their morale to theirs.

-{{:nations:ea:hinnom:lilot.png?nolink }} Dream Seduction functions similarly to ordinary seduction, but involves two checks: one against the target's [[magic resistance]] and another against the target's morale.+{{:abilities:dream_seduction.png?nolink }} [[dream-seduction|Dream Seduction]] runs two checks instead of one. The target rolls [[magic-resistance|Magic Resistance]] against a fixed 15 first, and only a target that loses that roll goes on to the morale roll. Losing the first roll ends the attempt harmlessly, so a dream seducer risks the assassination battle less often.
  
-The magic resistance check difficulty is always 14; if this check fails, nothing happens. The difficulty of this check is affected by items that boost magic penetration, like the ??Spell Focus?? or ??Rune Smasher??.(([[http://ulm.illwinter.com/dom6/dom6manual.pdf|Dominions 6 Manual, 53]] "Dream +Dream seducers roll against morale with higher values than ordinary seducers, 14 to 20 rather than 9. Items that grant magic penetration raise the first roll and ??Soul Scales?? adds 2 to the second; Beauty enters neither. Unlike ordinary seduction it can cross the same-sex line, at +4 to the target's morale roll.
-seducers may benefit from magic items that boost beauty (vs morale) and penetration (vs magic resistance)")) +

-The difficulty of the morale check works the same way as regular seduction, but dream seducers typically have higher seduction values (15 compared to 9 for most seducers). The morale check is affected by Beauty, as with ordinary seduction.(([[http://ulm.illwinter.com/dom6/dom6manual.pdf|Dominions 6 Manual, 53]] "Dream +

-The item ??Soul Scales?? can improve the probability of dream seduction success. FIXME how exactly? +

-Unlike ordinary seduction, dream seduction can target the same sex, but does so with a penalty.(([[https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/14206753/|Dominions 6.12 Patch Notes]] "Dream Seduction can target same sex, but with penalty to morale check")) FIXME exact penalty unknown?+
