Prestige
- (For Library and Stage Prestige contest information, see HELP CULTURE)
Prestige is used to determine how likely a denizen is to resist an influence attempt. The more prestige you have, the less likely it is the denizen will resist an attack entirely (except in the case of charity, where it's the opposite).

Changelog
- New descriptors for higher levels of prestige have been added and HELP INFLUENCEPRESTIGE has been updated to reflect the changes. The levels were there, but 'like royalty' used to encompass over half of the available spectrum. (#2707 on 25-Jun-2022)
