[edit] Overview
Expression is the representation of the four ways you can “influence” NPCs. The four expression types are Demand 
, Reason 
, Inspire 
and Flattery 
. During a parley, expression is represented by small colored dots on the game board which you can spend using statement cards.
[edit] Player Expression
Player starting expressions are determined by their race and class. For more information see Starting Cards: Race and Class Expression Types.
[edit] Player Race Expression
| Demand Races | Reason Races | Inspire Races | Flattery Races |
| Dwarf Mordebi Human Orc Varanthari Vulmane Wood Elf | Gnome Goblin High Elf Kojani Human | Dark Elf Lesser Giant Thestran Human Varanjar | Half Elf Halfling Kurashasa Qaliathari Human Raki |
[edit] Player Class Expression
| Demand Classes | Reason Classes | Inspire Classes | Flattery Classes |
| Dread Knight Necromancer Warrior | Disciple Monk Ranger Sorcerer Druid | Cleric Paladin Shaman | Bard Blood Mage Psionicist Rogue |
[edit] NPC Expression
The expressions used by Civic Diplomacy NPCs are generally determined by their race and station. The following tables can be an initial guide to deck design for parleying NPCs with the caveat that individual NPC decks can vary greatly.
[edit] NPC Race Expression
| Demand Races | Reason Races | Inspire Races | Flattery Races |
| Dwarf Mordebi Human Orc Varanthari Vulmane Wood Elf | Gnome Goblin High Elf Kojani Human | Dark Elf Lesser Giant Thestran Human Varanjar | Half Elf Halfling Kurashasa Qaliathari Human Raki |
[edit] NPC Station Expression
| Demand Stations | Reason Stations | Inspire Stations | Flattery Stations |
| Domestic Soldier | Academic Crafter | Clergy | Merchant Noble Outsider |
Thus, an Orc Clergy would be expected to have a deck comprised primarily of Demand and Inspire.
[edit] Conversation Expression
Some types of conversations block one expression during parleying. Interview does not block any expressions.
