[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 3021525, member: 24357"] Social skills ante me. However I try once in a while to play a social character and I suck at it, but sometimes I have to- Brottor Redstone comes to mind, Cleric of Barronor Truesilver, one in a thousand of BT because he's a male. His tone is calm, patient, considerate, and he is always taking 10 on his maxed out Diplomacy skill no matter whom he is speaking (bar maid, party member, etc). He has yet to attempt to sway a villian because so many of them that he has seen are just utterly evil and he wants them.... well, not around (though he dislikes killing). Consider that as I further explain that I speak as calmly and patiently as I can, so that I can make certain that the Players understand that I am not speaking as my other character- Grayson (whom is as anti socially skilled as you can get). Brottor it seems annoyed a Player, I think because I was misunderstood. I lack the social graces that the 17 Cha Dwarf has, so I had to explain that there was a misunderstanding and that Brottor had said X when they understood Y was implied. How does all this help those Players like myself that can't smile at someone without getting a nasty comeback as though I had cussed out someone's mother? Oh, and just so this is not misunderstood, I am truly curious and not being condesending or cruel or anything like that. [/QUOTE]
