For a character with a kind smile and a silver tongue, it might be possible to travel the galaxy simply by depending on the kindness of others. An individual with this knack is capable of giving just the right compliment to his target—often by deciphering the subject’s social and cultural background. Note that the use of the Charm skill requires the acting character to maintain a degree of sincerity in his statements. A character who employs flagrant flattery with no basis in reality would be better suited to the Deception skill. See Social Skill Interactions, on the next page, for more information. Politicians, salespeople, and con artists are all renowned for their Charm.
