Defaults: IQ-5. Acting-5, Performance-2, or Politics-5.
This is general talent with the spoken word. A successful skill roll lets you (for instance) give a good political speech, entertain a group around a campfire, incite or calm a riot, or put on a successful "court jester" act.
Public Speaking includes skill with debate, oratory, and rhetoric, as well as ability with less formal activities such as "punning" and storytelling. Not all speakers possess talent in all of these areas. You may take an optional specialty to represent this.
Modifiers: Any bonus for Charisma; +2 for Voice; -1 to -4 for Shyness; -2 for Stuttering; Cultural Familiarity modifiers; Language modifiers.
