Refering to the numbers on your sheet.So why not in social interaction too? If your character opens his mouth, you can determine as a player what he says - but the numbers (diplomacy, bluff, intimidate, etc) tell you how he says it. Maybe your character stands in front of a duke and wanna say:Greetings to you nobleman, I am proud that you have time for my humble self - or something similar. Now you roll etiquett for your character. Ups a 2.So it goes likeC'mon you &§%) don't you have better to do than steling my precious time?Yeah, it is an extreme example but I think you know what I mean.So before your character participates in a certain social interaction, the player  should check his record sheet if his character is able to handle it.Like in combat where you have to decide if you behave like a frontliner or prefere the secure distance. The numbers on your record sheet (AC, Attack bonus, etc.) may give you hint what is the better choice.Cheers, Evil DM.</blockquote>
