	Definition of terms Increase the size of your Attachments

Somethings that bugged me because I never knew the precise definition of in Social Engineering..

Immunity means what? That you are immune to negative effects of a negative in a particular SE area. But this doesn't bestow any other benefit, right? Like if I had -2 Research, but also had Immunity Research, I wouldn't feel the bad effects of having that -2.

Robust is another thing. Is it the same thing as having extra plusses in a particular area?

Beyowulf,

If you go to the following web sight, they have all of the definitions your looking for along with custom factions, a rating system for them, etc. It's a pretty decent sight for faction creators.

You are correct about Immunity: Negetive modifiers simply are not added in and have no effect; however, I'm not sure if Immunity affects positive modifiers.

Robust simply halves the negitive modifiers in whatever area is choosen. ie. -2 is treated as -1, -4 as -2, etc.. Not sure if it rounds up or down for odd numbers or if it carries the fraction along through the game's calculations.
