Dangerous social situations often are. In my game, we have a player who is forbidden from speaking to NPCs(by the other players), because as a player, he is just that bad at it.
When a failed roll or saying the wrong thing gets you killed, social encounters can be a single person activity for the mouthpiece.
And yet another word from our sponsors
