Apparently if I roll high enough on my persuasion check, you'll have to.

Social skills working on PCs is a different problem.

It's not a source thing. It's...it's just the meaning of what a "team based game" is.

If it's team based, you need teamwork to succeed. Otherwise, your success is blind luck.

Still player skill. My group punches above its weight and only 1-2 are particularly skilled.

Party full of Zards/ECMO3 we would wreck house i suspect.

Its a player skill. When wife used to play WoW she was a support character. Always in short supply. Players will pick and do whatever a game cant really force it.

you mean the fact that they don't?

Situationally dependent, but at least sometimes yes. If the characters are far enough apart that conversation is unlikely (battle is noisy) there'd at best be a roll for the listener to hear what's said; if one or both is in Silence then no conversation happens and thus no effect, etc.

Of course, Commander’s Strike just requires that a friendly creature can see or hear you. Unless both were impossible, I see no reason to impose any restriction - it just works.

Lots of folks seem to argue that they do. That would drive me insane in play. It would be a deal breaker for me.

I think Lanefan's issue is: what if the player being given a free attack doesn't want to attack? Are they then forced to?

One reason i dont play those type of builds. Or picking favorites or reminding people you've used bless on to use it.

Got to have the right players or you're wasting your time.
