Persuade

Sometimes, if you're a very charming, empathetic Hero, you can convince the monster you've encountered to stand down. If you're really talented, you might even convince them to stand down and give you loot!

There are 4 possible Persuade outcomes:

• Nothing happens (you're back to where you started before you attempted the Persuade)

• The monster gets angry and gets a free attack

• The monster is persuaded, and retreats, granting you experience for the encounter, but no loot

• The monster is extremely persuaded, retreats, and grants you both experience and a chance at loot

Persuade effectiveness is based on the Hero's Charisma score, which is a Hero Attribute.
