That roleplaying easily gets you +2 modifier! But what about a negotiation system in addition to a system, where you can build up a potential relationship/reputation with the local shopkeep, eventually leading up to new adventures and story tropes? Perhaps a combination of both would be more...

Very interesting take, something that seems to be already reflected within the system I am working on! I do agree that these type of systems need to reflect (human) instinct, at least to some degree. This, however, bares the danger of overcomplicating things quite a bit, as social interactions...

Howdy all :) I'm currently working on a story-driven sandbox TTRPG campaign where players can form and follow their own paths. They can explore where they want, tackle what they want, and write their own story (through various types of core systems). But this raises an important design...
