Currently I have 12 Cunning and 2 points in persuasion. I am playing a mage with the intention of putting everything into magic (except for the 1 cunning I added to bump up to 12 for the 2nd persuasion skill).

My question is, will a higher persuasion skill have a large impact on the game, or are there relatively few instances where level 3 or 4 persuasion is required?

There is no reason not to max coercion on your PC. It is the only PC only skill in the game, and there are some real 'tough' persuasion checks leading up to and at the end of the game. So for that reason and a few others I won't go into, your answer is:

YES, it is important.

*but you can always choose to be different*

You'll get enough points to Cunning during the Broken Circle quest, so, it's definitely a win-win to add that skill to the maxinum.

I think he meant Awkening. There's not many options that require persuasion during Awakening, so if you don't mind a few casualties...

[asaiasai]

I always max persuasion as soon as possible, because as stated there are a few tough persuasion checks that with out the cunning and persuasion you will not get a few dialog options that in some cases open up easier decisions.

I prefer fighting so I rarely uses persuasion. In recent plays I do have a bit so I can persuade my mates to not get their kickers in a knot at times, but it only lessens the anger they have and they still will disapprove but at a neutral (no approval lost) or disapprove much less than original (ex -4 rather than -14).

Awakening seems to make little use of coercion or traps, for whatever reason.



Origins, though, you *always* should plan to get level 3 or 4 in coercion unless you're a CUN rogue (where you might boost CUN enough to only need level 2).



First playthrough was a CEF DW warrior, with minimal coercion, and it *amazed* me how much more interesting the conversation options were on playthrough #2 (elven "chaotic neutral" mage with high coercion).



Can you say "foursome" kids? I knew you could...

You can get a horseload of money from Rogek's quest in Orz/Mage Tower by just persuading him/Godwin. Furthermore, Intimidating uses that coercion skill, too, so e.g. in the Fade, you'll be able to intimidate the desire demon into giving you an extra spell.

In my first play through I'm just a brute Dwarven Fighter, I have no need for persuasion, I want to fight and kill. Intimidate is more my style.



However, next go round I'll be using an Elf, probably an elitist tree hugging cocky Elf who likes to talk circles around others just to show how much better he is than everyone else.

Even with that attitude, you'll get more fodder for your bloodthirst by persuading/intimidating certain NPC:s.

Always worth getting.

Lol reminds me of my chaotic evil stupid barbarian in nwn. He was so evil that everyone feared him. Had to kill all the cityguards in neverwinter because a merchant was mocking me and i put him out of his misery then everyone of the guards went nuts and attacked me.

For roleplaying purposes it could make sense to have a high persuasion since there are some things that can't be done except with a high persuasion skill. As far as playing and beating the game, its not necessary. On a subsequent playthrough, especially if you have a rogue, then you can try out a higher persuasion skill.

Higher persuasion means more options wich is more fun.
