Ah, okay; thanks for the clarification -love the game.

And while I understand the reasoning as to why the MC's Willpower and Intelligence decline in such an extreme fashion when following the Zanti path, I always wondered whether it could have been more akin to what the circus hypnotist does: breaking the MC's will with a sort of fixed reduction of her stats. If the MC is bimbofied by Sonya, the INT drop is far more dramatic than what the hypnotist does.

In a nutshell: my MC has the Tease background and Santhora as a deity, leaving her with max WIL of 100, 60 INT -which I jack up to 100 using the hypnotist and the library of the Mage's Guild- and 40 INH. If the Zanti's would simply kidnap her from her home after the first time she has worked at their farn and then inject her with the breast enhancing drug that would make her more susceptible to their hypnosis. If they implant a trigger a la Manchurian Candidate to turn her, they could leave her INT at a 60 MAX just like the Bimbo Trait and do the samae to her INH -also 60 MAX, but with a 20 point reduction because of her starting stat,so it'd be 40/60. Then also leaving her WIL intact, the Zanti's would have a very powerful tool at their beck and call; OR simply make her stats decline as intended for the Zanti path, and if the MC chooses to be their field agent, reset her stats to 60 MAX for both INH and INT, resetting her WIL to her starting stat and adding the BIMBO Trait if she didn't already have it. This way their agent will be powerful enough to get her jobs done and being able to improvise as the situation would require, while still being a loyal Zanti agent.

In short, I really love the Zanti path, but the massive stats drop makes me steer clear of it. So this is me just ramblling about an alternate approach -I fully understand the unfeasibility of it, so no worrries. Just my 2 cents really.

In theory, you can raise your stats back up after you go through the full cowgirl treatment (once you decide to become their field agent, basically). The bimbo trait caps your INT and INH to 60, and I decided to leave that sort of stuff to this one trait (heck, some people aren't happy that the bimbo trait gives a cap). Honestly, I probably wasn't very even in the way I treat stats increase/decrease, I was experimenting with the idea, so I am sure there is plenty of stuff that didn't pan out perfectly.

Have to say I made the wrong assumption that raising your stats after becoming a Zanti agent would break the game; but knowing I can actually do that without any adverse effects, just made my day. Thanks!
