by Falagar / Articles, Misc. Guides / 01 Sep 2020

A Hook can be gained in various ways and is used to increase or force a character’s Acceptance of multiple things. Vassals who have a Hook on their Liege can use the Demand Council Position character interaction. Blackmail hooks are lost if the Secret they’re used with is exposed. A Hook can be Weak or Strong.

A Weak Hook can only be used once.

A Strong Hook can be used multiple times with a cooldown and prevents a character from taking hostile actions against the one holding the Hook. They can also be used to force a character to become an Agent in a Scheme.
