I am DM in a group and there is a party conflict. A wizard would like the group to do something, but sorcerer would like it the opposite way. The players basically argue about how to deal with captured assassin. I was sick of this half an hour debate, so I have demanded opposite diplomacy check, and the winner will have his own way dealing with the assassin.
The question is:
1. Can diplomacy be used inside PC party according to the rules? (I didn't find anything on that subject)
2. Can perhaps NPC use his diplomacy skill on the PCs, trying to persuade them to do something?
(I figure, that this could be difficult, because DM would have all the decision, which mission PCs would choose and also dragons have insane diplomacy checks. They would simply persuade PCs what to do almost all the time)
3. If diplomacy checks can't be used inside the group, how to solve the situation?
