[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 8996650, member: 48965"] The thing is making a single Charisma check roll is also the official "rule" via the PHB... it depends on how the DM and table want to handle it... and IMO that's the way it should be. I don't need the in depth rules for every interaction and I don't always want an in depth system to decide a social action. But both are official ways to handle the situation via the books, what the books don't presume to tell me is what is the "appropriate" situation to use them in... and honestly I like it that way. But if there's no prescription of HOW to do things, at least as farf as 5e is concerned,... why are you assuming this is the default? If anything I would argue that through it's tools, lists, examples, pre-made adventures, etc. D&D is only lots of prep if you want it to be. A game that can accommodate all of those styles of play. I get you may not like that answer but it doesn't change the fact that it's a valid answer... perhaps it's the rigid styles that need to be re-examined, especially as to how the majority of ttrpg'ers actually play their games.
