Leadership in the Cosmere RPG
Another new Cosmere RPG video! This time we're looking at Leadership in the Cosmere RPG - a skill that shows your aptitude at moving a crowd.
In the Cosmere RPG, you roll a skill check when you are attempting to do something that doesn’t have a guarantee of success.
You will roll for leadership when you’re in situations where you are trying to inspire or command people; maybe you’re on the battlefield, ready to take charge, or attempting to inspire a crowd to rally to your cause.

For veteran DnD and Pathfinder players, think of Leadership as a specialized version of Persuasion.
While anyone can roll a Leadership check, players looking to focus on Leadership should consider their builds carefully.
Your Leadership skill is based on the Presence stat, the Cosmere RPG equivalent to Charisma. Each time you roll Leadership you add your Presence to the result, along with any other relevant modifiers. If you’re planning to play a character who leads from the front lines, you’ll want to have a few points in Presence from the start.
Some Paths (or classes) in the Cosmere RPG benefit greatly from Presence: The Leader, Envoy, or even Scholar paths will all benefit from a build that focuses on Presence, but nothing says you couldn’t have a Hunter leading a squad of archers, or an Agent who is the head of a crack team of specialists. How you build your character is up to you and the story you’re trying to tell.
