Oratory

Oratory Social Proficiency [Personality] 200 hours Requires journeyman Speak (language)

This is the skill of preparing, memorising, and delivering rousing speeches. You may inspire morale of soldiers, boost confidence in a political candidate, pump up salesmen when their numbers are down, or inspire your nation to exterminate members of a certain religion. The higher the result of the skill check, the more successful your speech. You need to be able to speak a common language with your audience. Master linguistic knowledge is preferred, as your effective skill level in oratory is halved if you only speak the language at journeyman level, and this skill cannot be performed effectively with only apprentice level linguistic knowledge.
