Rules for influence. Cost is three Freebie Points to get a new influence. It costs current rating x 3 to get the next higher dot. Influence effects take time as determined by the AMST. This causes a temporary loss of Influence until the next week or month as determined by the AMST. Influence effects can be counteracted one a one for one basis (i.e. Vladimir the Ventrue wants to use 5 underworld influence to stop all drug flow into the Bronx. Tisha the Toreador Antitribu doesn't like that as she already has control over it and wants to counter that and uses 5 of her own influence tratis to do so.
