Manipulation (Hunter: The Reckoning 5th Edition)

Manipulation represents the ability to influence others subtly -- through careful argument, emotional pressure, misdirection, or outright deception. Where Charisma draws people in through magnetism, Manipulation works through understanding what others want and using that knowledge to guide their behavior. For hunters, Manipulation is a critical tool for operating in a world where the truth would get you committed to a psychiatric facility. You need to lie to police about why you were at a crime scene. You need to trick a ghoul into revealing their master's haven. You need to convince a bureaucrat to give you access to records that should be sealed. Manipulation also governs the darker side of hunter operations -- extracting information from unwilling sources, playing factions against each other, and maintaining the elaborate web of deceptions that keeps a cell's true activities hidden from the mundane world.
