Foppish is about how you dress and act, and has nothing to do with skill or charisma. You can be a massive fop and incredibly skilled and charismatic. What is it you think foppish means?I don't think the difference is as small as you're suggesting, but that illustrates another problem with 5E, that being that investing in a skill or making something a priority for your character can often be undermined by the mighty d20. The problem then become that the Bard with +7 skill fails, and the Fighter with +4 fails, but the Barbarian with a grand total of -1 succeeds. Which is funny the first time but not the twentieth time, let alone the five-hundredth.I have no idea what you think you're saying here. These two sentences barely make any sense in English. My point is that by default D&D doesn't have any rules support for thing like the fact that a character is familiar with a mileux or kind of person. That's up to the DM. Whereas many other games have either more formal support for it (Etiquette skills in Shadowrun, for example) or have a narrative-based design which naturally includes it.I totally agree <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Wizard is basically just a Loremaster Bard who has forgotten his roots.</blockquote>
