Alignment may matter too.  I think a worshiper of Valandara would have an
easier time influencing a worshiper of Golinon (good) than of Nagashun (evil).

Except that fanatical loyalty (eg secondary characters) can mean a loyalty
rating in the hundreds, and there's no way you'll get that much influence.
Similarly, the most attractive npc characters (eg, vampire lord humans in
ruins) also tend to have fanatical loyalty ratings.

(Does anyone know how inducement works?  Can you bribe a character with
fanatical loyalty and poor greed resistance to join you?)

The 30% limit applies only to characters who have non-zero prestige.  In
other words, the chance of ifluencing a major character is always 'poor'
or worse.
