A. R. Watson

+18% effectiveness vs. baseline

Boosts political-influence gained per Campaign, favorability gained per ad, relationship/favor earned when courting NPP politicians, and powers the 'Remain above the fray' debate strategy.

-14% effectiveness vs. baseline

Powers the 'Attack' debate strategy and boosts overall debate scoring. Raised by the Debate Prep action and by debating in elections (the winner learns more); decays by 1 every 72 hours if you stop practicing.

250 action cap · bank up to 125

Raises your per-turn action cap (200 → 250) and how many unused actions you can bank between turns (100 → 125). Grows when you stay active across the turn, and erodes during quiet stretches.

+10% effectiveness vs. baseline

Increases the money raised by each Fundraise and lowers the cost of expanding your donor network.

+18% effectiveness vs. baseline

Lowers the growth cost of sectors in any corporation you run as CEO and softens the bite of high interest rates on that cost. Grows while you hold a CEO seat — faster when the corp is more profitable — and slips when you don't.

-18% effectiveness vs. baseline

Raises party-whip success (~±9 pts), lengthens your filibusters, strengthens ministerial policy effects, and boosts the 'Tout accomplishments' debate strategy (though Tout's payout depends more on your legislative record than your Statecraft score). Trained by whipping and invoking filibusters.

-14% effectiveness vs. baseline

Lowers Quick/Full poll costs and softens the rising fund cost of repeated Campaigning. Running polls also trains this stat.
