I like the middle ground and want a baselin roleplay. So I know what you trying to do, because you appalling to a bandits honor may not work as well as it would with a knight.
The dice result and the passive persuasion compensate for your real life skill or lack.
The question to ask there is "what's your approach?" The dice will smooth out wrinkles, but I need to know how to narrate the success or fail, otherwise, any persuasion will be you saying "aw, c'mon!" And that gets a bit boring, unless you're on a hot streak and everyone crumples to your plea
