This is the ability to convincingly
pretend you are something you are not, or believe or intend to d
something. For actors, it means portraying a fictitious character,
of course, but it also covers such things as effectively pretending you
are holding a winning hand at poker or convincing voters that you will
fulfill your campaign promises, or that you even know what they mean.
While Act/Bluff can be used in shady dealings
like smuggling, confidence games, and the like, this skill can also be used as a
vocational skill to artistically manipulate an audience's emotions by a
professional actor or actress.
