[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7837819, member: 6919838"] ""It's not that CHA is the entire social pillar so much is that tends to be ""where the active uses are in the social pillar.** CHA, DEX, and STR see a lot of active checks for actions made by the PC's. INT, WIS, and CON are checks more often associated a use in reaction to something else." You referenced the charisma being where the active uses are and the context seemed to be dismissing the other actives uses in that pillar... so not technically " only" but clearly leaning into " only ones that vount." Now, if you are now saying that your intent was to spotlight how much the others did matter and count, as opposed to trying to make it look like the charisma ones were the ones that mattered, then that's quite a swerve. If however, you want to play catch- phrase where you make a point about charisma being not necessarily "only" but some other phrase for it, then fine. Is your intended point that the other stats matter enough in the social pillar or thst thry font and really it's only charisma that mstter gor the active uses and that you find thsat a problem? Or was this just word-pixeling? If so, if its word-pixeling, then I will rephrase... "If your social pillar sees other stat checks but not enough active uses except for those of charisma, thatis a statement about the type of social challenge scenes and the complexity of them being presented, not the rules or system. " A robust social chsllenge should be more than charisma checks and the actual rules support that- unless the GM chooses to present cases where the others are not possible or necessary. [/QUOTE]
