[QUOTE="BluejayJunior, post: 7631783, member: 6918769"] Do your other players just not interact in social situations then? I am playing a character that doesn't have any social skills, but that doesn't mean I just stop doing everything in roleplaying/social encounters. I still talk and interact, which means sometimes I am the one that ends up making a skill check. It almost sounds like (at least from your post) either only that person even attempts to lie, or whenever anyone lies, that character is the one to roll. In a social intrigue game, I also wouldn't expect everyone to always be together all the time. If they are infiltrating a Duke's ball like in one of your previous posts, are they just walking around in a group the whole time? Have NPCs approach other characters or just refuse to speak to/around certain characters. And lying isn't always the best approach. Even if someone believes the lie, they may find out the truth later. That can have big consequences for the party. If they are trying to lie about something to a Duke or leader of a theives guild or some other person that might have their own spies, maybe he buys the lie for now, but is going to have someone immediately check up on that. Suspicious people will always double check info or assume someone is lying even if it was very convincing. [/QUOTE]
