Presence

Although its individual entry reads “Confidence”, there is evidence this attribute used to be named “Presence”. Firstly, it is referred to exclusively as Presence in Chapter 4: Skills. Secondly, “Presence” is an alternate name for this attribute. And finally, if it were named Presence it would sort alphabetically between Perception and Psionic Power on page 20 where we find it. (This remains true even if Psionic Power used to be named “Spirit”)

No Attribute

Confidence can be replaced by the Persuasion skill.
