Oh good, he's found another victim BEST FRIEND! You should be really looking forward to the spiders WARM FLUFFY KITTENS!

Also it seems the only way to level up a trait without later spending a whole day nagging people to hang around you is to use up a second-chance item and do the "perhaps not" thingie.

Gah, scary kitties spiders in the boxes! Do not want! Next time it'll be a nice kitty for sure, though.

I don't know if that applies to all stats...I've seen no negative things from failing persuasive challenges, but maybe it only applies to higher levels than I am?

Each stat has an associated failure menace:

Dangerous -> Wounds
Shadowy -> Suspicion
Watchful -> Nightmares
Persuasion -> Scandal

I don't know what level they kick in for sure, but it seems to be somewhere around 35 or so?

Some do earlier than others, I've found. Also screw Nightmares, EVERYTHING gives my poor character nightmares. I can't imagine how he even sleeps, the poor soul.

Also if someone is playing and ISN'T added to the OP, don't be shy! You'll get a lot of new friends to send you kitten-spiders and nagging you about dinners and nightmares!

Yeah, I've been getting tons of Nightmares, even some that I succeed in still give me nightmares. Been keeping them manageable by ignoring that cheery gentleman, though.

A tiny little plant sprouted in my home.

It's so pretty, I think I'll just keep it. I think you Visitors shouldn't touch it though. It only trusts me. :I

I'm just staring to get to the level where *Everything* will start giving wounds/nightmares/scandal/Suspicion, I would guess.

Eh, pop more laudinum, wot wot. That never ends badly.

Also, if you get a request or two from me, feel free to send back one or two, and I'll repay the favor.

A suggestion for people who are concerned about leveling up (and are below ~55 in their stats): You gain experience based on the difficulty of a challenge for your charachter, as seen below.
(The number is the amount of change points you gain in a skill if you fail/succeed).
    straightforward, low-risk: 1/1
    modest 2/2
    chancy: between 2/2 and 3/3
    high-risk 3/4
    almost impossible: 3/5
So on a modest you gain 2 change points for failure, 2 for success, while on almost impossible you get 3 for failure, 5 for success.
That means if you equip the items that have a high negative impact on your stats (ridiculous hat, bottled oblivion, talkative rattus fabber), you can do challenges that while getting you less material reward, will increase your stats by the same amount while still having no chance of a negative effect (that is until your stats get to about ~55 or so, and you will have to do the ones that have a chance of a bad effect or have a smaller experience return, or use a copious amount of second chances, but that's always annoying).

...The Tomb Colonies are massive suck compared to the State of Some Confusion. And the Tomb Colonies seemed to raise my Nightmares quite a bit while I was there, too! :(

Seriously, if you want to lower scandal, you have to either:
