[QUOTE="FadedC, post: 4089963, member: 55463"] There was actually a sample 4e adventure involving vampires that WoTC released awhile back. It had very lilttle crunch and was mostly about roleplaying and interesting characters, but it did have some minor stuff on social skill challenges. Each character had a couple skills that we considered apropriate to use against them in a social challenge. I think it was usually diplomacy, intimidate and gather info, but at least one character was hard headed and reacted very poorly to intimidate attempts I think. There may have been others with other restrictions. So this implies that it's not just about making up whatever skill you want and using it to "change reality" or to climb up a wall to improve your diplomacy check. It's more about using the skills that are apropriate to the situation, which are presumably laid out in the module or by the DM. Presumably a skill challenge could even involve a scripted set of taks and changing scenarios, which could even involve a mandaotry streetwise check to avoid that dead end..... [/QUOTE]
