Leadership
Attribute: Charisma
Leadership is the use of force of personality to convince others to obey you. Different people have different manners of leading. Some do so by barking out orders, while others simply inspire loyalty in their followers. Players who choose this skill for their characters should consider their character's personality when roleplaying its use, and also consider the effect of other related skills. For example, a character with Leadership and Willpower skills, but no Persuasion or Carousing skills, would most likely be a harsh leader, while one with Persuasion and Carousing would use a more inspirational style.
It is typically an Standard difficulty check to use the Leadership skill to convince NPCs to follow your orders. The referee may adjust this, of course, depending upon other factors.
Leadership is also used when organizing the actions of a group of characters (usually NPCs) into cooperative actions. For example, supervising a group of laborers to construct a building would be a task rolled against Leadership and Construction. If the character had a number of assistants, foremen each with Leadership and Construction skills who could be relied upon to handle much of the detailed supervision, the character could use his Leadership skill alone.
