[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7593786"] Good post. A couple of comments: 1) Certainly the players deciding to seek out the troll king (somewhat) changes the dynamic, as opposed to, for example, them being captured and then dragged in front of the troll king. 2) Still, even if that's the case, once the fighter is on the spot I don't like a pre-ordained "you must use a social skill now." Let the fighter propose something. "Let me fight your champion!" "I'll pull out that gem-encrusted goblet and offer it to the king as a gift of my esteem." Whatever. And maybe, depending on what the player proposes, the DM will still rule that it will require a skill check of some sort, and maybe even a Cha-based skill. What makes me wary is the idea that "You ARE going to have to make a Cha check to get out of this." (Especially if it's designed as some sort of punishment for dumping Cha, as at least one poster has suggested.) [/QUOTE]
