forcefulness of personality and how willing others are to follow
the character's lead, and Appearance, which gauges physical attractiveness,
presence, and poise. Leon decides his character will have these

Leadership
A character with a high Leadership often may be a group's leader,
or at least its spokesperson. Generals and those who can calm
or incite a mob with a few words all have good Leadership scores.
Command Diameter: This number is only used with the Battle System mass combat rules. It is a bonus that applies to a unit commander’s radius of command.
Loyalty Base: This modifier is applied to henchmen's loyalty scores (see the Dungeon Master's Guide). This modifier can be crucial during battles, where good morale is vital.
Max. # of Henchmen: This is the maximum number of permanent allies and retainers a character can attract. This does not affect the number of hirelings, mercenaries, or other servitors a character can have.
Underworld Contacts: A character with the Underworld Contacts thief ability uses this number to modify his thief ability.
Skills: This score is the relevant ability for skill such as Oratory and Statecraft.

Appearance
This determines the physical presence and attractiveness of the
character. A character with a high Appearance score would be handsome
or beautiful, perhaps even famous for outstanding looks (such
as Helen of Troy).
Reaction Adjustment: This number modifies the Reaction Roll made when a character interacts with NPCs and intelligent creatures for the first time (see the DMG). Obnoxious behavior can negate bonuses for a high Appearance score, just as solicitous manners can overcome a weakness.
Bribe Official: A character with the Bribe Official thief ability uses this number to modify his thief ability.
Skills: This score is the relevant ability for skills such as Singing, Gaming, Etiquette and Disguise.
