You forgot one MAJOR aspect of the Social Skill Problem. The fact that some gamers will intentionally use the game mechanics in such a system to force another player to do what they want (just because they have a higher charisma or similar). I have seen this on many occasions, and I have seen it crash game tables. For this reason, when I GM a game, I don't allow social skill checks to be made against PC's unless they can manage to convince me of an acceptable reason why. I have no moral qualms about what PC's do to eachother, but the players themselves are another story. [[User:Emry|Emry]] 01:01, 4 May 2009 (PDT) | |||

If any of you can come up with more types and/or decent examples, I'd love to see 'em.
