Following on from 'should charismatic players have an advantage?' - I happen to have a player who is incredibly insightful, and always picks up on NPC motivations, plots etc very quickly - she can read characters like a book. But in 4e D&D there is an Insight skill which is supposed to deal with this stuff, right? And a lot of people think that charismatic players should not be allowed to have an advantage on charisma-related stuff, where eg Diplomacy rolls could be used.
So, how does that relate to Insight? Is the player playing her PC wrong when she plays her insightfully? I actually let/encouraged her to swap out a skill for Insight, which AIR is not a class skill for Rangers, more to let her take full advantage of her ooc insightfulness than because I thought she was doing it wrong. I think I'd do the same would go for a particularly (eg) diplomatic player.
