Willpower

If you want to resist temptation, ignore taunts, or keep calm in the face of danger, use the skill Willpower. Unlike Self-Control, this doesn’t help resist physical pain or distractions. Instead, you primarily use it to resist mental influences, such as the use of skills like Fast-Talk, Intimidation, Persuasion, and Seduction.
