-====== Rapport ======
-The Rapport skill is all about influencing people and getting them on your side. Unlike Deceit, it mainly relies on the use of honest appeals and natural charisma, but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s just for nice guys - people can manipulate and affect you by being straightforward just as much as they can by lying to you.
-===== Actions =====
-//Main Article: [[Actions]]//
-==== Overcome ====
-Like [[Deceit]] and [[Intimidation]], you use Rapport to get what you want out of people, in situations where it's not interesting or dramatic to play out a contest or a conflict. Whether it's convincing a city guard to leave you alone via your charm, flattering a politician with just the right words, ingratiating yourself to the locals in a tavern, or calming down an otherwise tense situation, Rapport is the skill to use.
-==== Create an Advantage ====
-You might use Rapport to get information out of someone you’re interacting with, by coming across as a trustworthy individual. While this will more often result in story details, if the information has a tangible benefit to you, you might represent it as an aspect such as Talkative or Helpful.
-==== Attack ====
-Rapport isn’t typically used for attacks.
-==== Defend ====
-You can use Rapport to defend against attempts made to create advantages against you with Rapport or Deceit. Talking your way out of situations is your bread and butter, and as such, you know how to turn hostile words against themselves. As long as the situation is verbal in nature, you can use this against Intimidation as well.
-You have to dig deeper in order to defend against mental attacks - see the [[Will]] skill for that.
-===== Stunts =====
-//See also: [[Stunts#Rapport|Stunts (list)]]//
-==== Best Foot Forward ====
-+2 to any Rapport roll made against a target whom you've been able to prepare to meet.
-==== Haggle ====
-Provided your Resources is no lower than 2 shifts below the difficulty of the roll, you can use Rapport instead of Resources to buy things from stores and individual merchants.
-==== Popular ====
-Once per [[scene]], when you meet someone for the first time, you can make a Rapport roll against a Fair(+2) difficulty to declare that you already know them and are on good terms with them. Place an aspect to this effect on the target, but you don’t get any free invocations on that aspect
-==== Well-Traveled ====
-You may use Rapport even if you do not share an common culture or language.
-==== Comely Lad/Lass ====
-+2 bonus when dealing with members the opposite sex who would potentially find you attractive. A humanoid would have difficulty wooing a fish or racoon even if said animal was sentient.
-==== Gift of Gab ====
-You may use Rapport in place of [[Deceit]] to mount a distraction as long as you continue to talk.
