Negotiation

Negotiating is the art of getting what you want out of an exchange. When you want to make a deal with someone, negotiating can convince them to agree to terms favorable to you and all concerned.

You can change others’ attitudes with a successful negotiation chance. In negotiations, participants roll opposed negotiation chances to see who gains the advantage.

Not Retriable

People can only be persuaded so far, and a retrymay do more harm than good. If the initial challenge fails, the other negotiator has probably become more firmly committed to a position, and a retry is likely futile (–50%). If you have 30% or more skill in bluffing or judging, you get a +10% synergy bonus on Diplomacy tests. These bonuses stack. “I’ll ask my boss” good cop bad cop

I have arbitrated more problems as a 3rd party than I could recall.  I've preformed this skill face to face, in business meetings, and during confrence calls.  I've arbitrated between squatter punks, businessmen, and musicians.

 

The secret is identifying what each party values most, and hopefully it's not the same thing!
