2. Demand Surrender:  Once per encounter, you can do a persuasion check as a standard action to demand surrender from an opponent who has been reduced to 1/2 or less of its hit points.  If successful they will surrender to you or your allies.  This means they drop any weapons they have and will take no more hostile actions towards you and your allies.

1. Prerequisite: Presence
4. Weaken Resolve:  Once per round, if you deal damage equal or greater than the target's damage threshold, make a persuasion check as a free action.  If successful the target flee's for 4 rounds, and must be out of line of sight before stopping.   (the target may use a force point to negate the effect if they haven't already used a force point this round)
1. Prerequisite: Presence
5. Improved Weaken Resolve : Same as Weaken resolve except the target does not stop fleeing.  If cornered the target will do its best to hide and avoid hostiles.  If the target is attacked the noble must make another persuasion check to keep the effect active.  (-5 each round the target is attacked is applied to the persuasion check)
