Word of trust is a level 1 psycast that reduces a prisoner's resistance to recruitment.

Acquisition[edit]

There are two ways to acquire the word of trust psycast:

  1. Upon reaching psylink level 1, a random psycast of level 1 is granted regardless of how this level up is achieved. This won't apply if the psycaster already knew one or more level 1 psycast.
  2. Word of trust can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.

Summary[edit]

Upon casting, Word of trust will reduce the resistance of a target prisoner by −12. Valid targets for this psycast are any prisoners of your colony, disqualifying those that are psychically deaf, unwaveringly loyal, incapacitated, or those with 0 resistance. Note that the resistance reduction of this psycast is unaffected by Psychic Sensitivity, despite psychically deaf pawns being untargetable.

Analysis[edit]

Word of trust is a highly effective tool for speeding up the recruitment of pawns. Most useful when one lacks a skilled warden, and provides a preferable alternative to slaveryContent added by the Ideology DLC for the expedited recruitment of prisoners.
