Rally

Rally Social Proficiency [Personality] 120 hours Requires Cheerleading You can gather together a dispirited group and refocus them back toward the task at hand. Most notably, this skill is used by officers and non-commissioned officers to rally troops who have broken or ran, but can also be used to re-motivate a sales force who are in a slump. The targets of this skill must have already been part of a definite group: you can't really rally tired holiday shoppers off of the road home and back into your store. Rallying a group that is disheartened but still together requires only a simple skill check at a ten or better—they are still going to grumble and complain, but it will no longer be socially acceptable for them to do so publicly. Groups that are only tenuously still together—everyone runs away to the same spot and wants to quit, for example—are more difficult to regather. The skill check must equal or exceed 15 to get them back to the 'bitching & moaning' stage.
