[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 766091, member: 259"] Consider also that the social characters ARE able to contribute during battles, most likely: while they won't be as effective as the fighter, they'll still be able to add something to the fight. Make sure that you don't render the fighter totally unfun to play when it comes to social scenes. Even if he isn't the focus of the social scenes, he should still be able to do something -- whether it's winning the affection of the local soldiers by drinking them under the table, or simply playing the cheerful lout. As I mentioned before, a low-charisma character can definitely contribute to the fun of a social scene, just by being a comic jerk or buffoon. That's, for me, part of the balance: just as the bard doesn't behave best by sitting back and watching combat, discourage the fighter from sitting back and watching social scenes. Let him contribute, even if it's not in the most effective manner. Daniel [/QUOTE]
