Having sway at all marks you as a personality in any dispute. Your social rank is equal to your current sway. If you have the highest sway you are either the leader or the largest threat to the current leader. Certain abilities add benefits to followers within range equal to your sway. Note that if your sway has been reduced to 0 it still affects adjacent Areas. Some circumstances or abilities require that you have more sway than your target.

Trouble
When you suffer scorn that isn't absorbed by your sway you must roll a trouble check against your influence score. If the check fails, you'll gain a Trouble marker. Your success margin must equal or beat the amount of scorn. Every 10 scorn automatically causes a marker, and then you check for any remaining scorn normally. Note that suffering exactly 0 scorn (say from an attack that dealt scorn, but your last sway absorbed it) still requires a check.
Example: Pounded Pete has an influence score of 12, and 12 sway. He is struck by 15 scorn. First, his 12 sway bubbles are eliminated, leaving 3 scorn. He must make a trouble check with a target of 12, but he needs a success margin of 3 or more. Pete rolls a 9 and barely succeeds, avoiding a Trouble marker. Pete is hit again for another 15 scorn. With no sway bubbles left to absorb any, he suffers it all. The first 10 automatically cause a Trouble marker. That leaves 5 insult left, so Pete is rolling against his usual 12- target, but he needs a 7 or less to get the 5 margin to avoid a second Trouble marker.
Wit
Your wit is the number of effect dice you roll when dealing social damage. The most common form of this is a taunt, which attacks using the perform skill. Your wit could represent insults and slander, but also flattery or misdirection. Wit rolls effect dice equal to your influence control. Green results deal doubt, blue results deal scorn, and red results deal agony.
