====== Persuasion (Spirit) ======

Persuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want them to do.

Nonplayer characters start at one of five different attitudes: [[tables:reaction|Hostile, Uncooperative, Neutral, Friendly, or Helpful]]. A successful Persuasion roll improves the [[rules:wild-cards-and-extras|Extra]]'s attitude one step, or two with a raise. Failure, on the other hand, decreases the character's attitude by a step, or two if a 1 is rolled on the Persuasion die (regardless of the [[rules:the-wild-die|Wild Die]]). Most Extras won't change their reaction more than one or two levels during a single exchange, but that's entirely up to the Game Master and the situation.

**[[traits:charisma|Charisma]]**: Persuasion is always modified by a character's Charisma.

**Player Characters**: Persuasion should never be used on other player characters. Their attitudes should be decided entirely by their players.

**[[tables:reaction|Reaction Table]]**: If the Game Master doesn't already have an initial attitude in mind for the [[rules:wild-cards-and-extras|Extra]], he can roll on the [[tables:reaction|chart below]].
