Authority

Your ability to project yourself as being worthy of others' gratitude and attention, as well as your ability to use your authority as a means of gaining trust, and persuading or intimidating others to do your biding.

Your DM may use your passive Charisma (Authority) score to determine your social position in a group or crowd. A low score may indicate that you do not stand out in a crowd, or you may be looked down upon. A high score indicates that you are often the face of your party, and people come to you when addressing your group.
