5.4 Acumen

Acumen represents your mental acuity and persuasive energy during Persuasion attempts. It is depleted when you make appeals, and can also be drained by your target's counterarguments.

Should your acumen fall to 0 during a persuasion attempt, you will fail to persuade your target and become temporarily dissuaded from making further attempts.

Acumen can be recovered through use of the prudence elixir and the sphinx tattoo.
