Diplomacy

Diplomacy is a passive skill in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.

Description

Diplomacy can be used to negotiate rational and reasonable resolutions to difficult situations. It stresses patience, respect, and sensitivity, and may therefore be despised by the rough edges of Eoran societies.

Usage

As with other passive skills, Diplomacy is only used during conversations and scripted interactions, and otherwise has no effect on gameplay or combat mechanics whatsoever.
