Squad Leader Archive

What the heck does the Human Leadership bonus do anyway?

I assumed it would help with Squad Leader. But every other skill mod that other species provides a definite bonus.
ex: Trandoshan: +10 to Creature Harvesting (this actually inproves the harvesting rating is the "My Skill Mods" Box)

But what tree gives leadership? I looked at the Squad Leader tree yesterday, and nowhere did I see a + to leadership. Shouldn't SLs get leadership as a skill? Maybe the "leadership" skill should be what determines effectiveness of commands and such? I dunno.

If the +10 leadership bonus of Humans doesn't actually do anything in any way shape of form, (and by that I mean that it is simply a number in your skill mod box with no purpose, and is just there to lookm nice), then why not just get rid of the Human +10 leadership bonus and give the species something that is actually useful.

Guyver, from what I understand, SOE took out the Leadership skill/bonus after the Beta. I wasn't in the beta, so I have no idea why (maybe they just couldn't find a good place to fit it in at), but you're right. Humans should have some sort of bonus that would replace that. Would certainly make them more appealing to play as, statistically speaking.

That is a good question. I am a human and i have no clue what that could do. It is still int the game, because i see it all the time in my skill mods box.

Leadership currently has no effect on any skill or profession in the game.

.. maybe... Politician..

"wipe them out.... all of them.." palpatine...

Would make sense, especially in the empire, for Humans to have an easier time earning political possitions than non-humans. Except Leadership isn't exactly what I'd call a Politician's trait. They don't exactly lead anybody, just sit around and make policy. The SLs are the one's leading people, and making SL use a leadership stat for something would make humans slightly more appealing.
