Persuasion is, quite simply, the ability to get people to do what you want them to do.
This does not necessarily have to do with how one speaks or acts, but encompasses everything about how someone pulls others' strings.
Persuasion comes in handy when trying to haggle for a better price, planting rumors, teasing opponents, or trying to convince the king he'd be better off naming you as heir.
Characters with poor Persuasion scores can't lie to save their lives, rarely get what they want, and fall short at good come-backs. Characters with a good Persuasion score are manipulative and convincing: they make great liars, negotiators, and insult comics.
Persuasive people are those such as politicians, diplomats, con artists, and The Sirens.
