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 role-playing 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 Average difficulty
task 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.
