You can use this skill to measure how well the player formulated his
orders, but it should NEVER make another player do something he does not
want to do. If you ask me, this skill is better used with buddies, gangs
and followers, where we use it to determine how well the NPC understand
the orders, affecting how well they'll follow them!
