Persuasion 1 (Source)
From SWGANH Wiki
As it stands, the only thing Persuasion claims to do, as per the description is offer a reduced rate for training, 20% I believe at Persuasion 4. As anyone who is working their way towards Jedi knows, 20% of 5000, ... 1000 credits is tip money. By the time we're grinding the force sensitive trees we use massive amounts of cash on a daily basis and receive 20 times that ammount from doing one animal mission on Dantooine.
