On this topic, another thing I've used in the past (that I may have stolen from somewhere?):
When trying to figure out how difficult someone is to recruit to the party's cause, list all of the factors that contribute to that NPC's POV, both positive and negative. Subtract 1 for each positive factor, add 1 for each negative one (increments of 5 probably work better for d20 games). If the result is under 0 the NPC is happy to help. Otherwise, that value is the penalty to the party's rolls.
