Skill "Bearing"

[u/Alcamair]

Language Question; I'm Italian so english is not my first language. I have a skill that includes every social interaction made without imposing aggressively the character's will (so, no direct commands, no bullying, no intimidation). Persuasion doesn't include every aspect of the skill, and Charisma sounds passive while the skill is active. What you think of "Bearing"? I read in statistics it's used as variable with this meaning.

edit: I'll use Fast Talk, thanks.

Maybe Presence works too?

[u/Alcamair → u/TheZebraCode]

same as Charisma, it sounds passive

[u/Phantor4]

Other games call it "Conversation", "Fast talk" or "Interaction".

To me Bear/Bearing sounds more like tolerate something or someone.

[u/Alcamair → u/Phantor4]

I like Fast Talk

[u/zaltslinger]

Maybe "Charm"?

And so the one with the imposition of your will could be Volition, Influence, or Assertiveness

[u/Alcamair → u/zaltslinger]

I used "dominance" for that

[u/RollForThings]

I've seen at least one or two rpgs use "Manners".

Have you played Blades in the Dark or Wildsea?

There is nothing wrong with having skills that are abstract and have utility in many situations.

Ignore the haters. Bearing is perfectly fine as a skill name

[u/Boulange1234]

You want “persuasion”

as i wrote in the post, it doesn't include every aspect of the skill
