Presence is how striking a figure you present to the world.

This has a lot to do with physical appearance and body language, but quite a bit to do with how one speaks as well. Having a good Presence helps with making good first impressions, intimidating others, and performing. Those with Presence are also adept at performing and assuming the guise of another.

A character with a poor Presence score is overlooked, easily-forgettable, completely nonthreatening, and makes a bad public speaker. A character with a good Presence score is always noticed, always remembered, excels at acting and orating, and brings saloons to screeching halts with a step through the door.

Andre the Giant had presence, as does James Bond and super models.
