While novices have no noticeable perks when persuading others, raising this skill will give the following benefits: Level 25 (Apprentice): Disposition decreases more slowly over time when trying to persuade a character. Level 50 (Journeyman): You can rotate once for free when trying to persuade a character. Level 75 (Expert): Bribes cost much less. Level 100 (Master): Disposition no longer decreases over time when trying to persuade a character. Disposition is also less impacted by the most disliked action. Right away, Apprentices in Speechcraft gain a solid advantage by having NPC disposition decrease slower, giving you more time to think about what you'll say next. Over time, the perks improve further, including a free pie rotation at level 50 to make it easier to align your options.
