I can be like "Simma down.. p 124 says that I get a +2 and a+3 and 9348943 to damage" and he would have to agree because it is all fleshed out and there is little room for question.Social situations are important but tend not to be life or death.  And if they ARE there are things there to help ie skills and feats.  True there could be more, but not too many more.Picture this:  My char wants to be FUNNY~ but I don't want to role play being funny.  HA I don';t want to think of jokes or try to amuse people...so I need help because I just want to buy my way through it.  I take "Humorus Gesture" which gives me +3 to cha bonus when trying to do a comitic act as I incorporate gestures that partain to teh joke.  "Contagious Laugh" which causes my laughter to have a 25% to cause another person to laugh along with me when truely laughing and finally "Witty Remark" that allows my character to make a Reflex save to be able to respond to a statement with a funny statement.-_- Do you see where we get burried?  As a DM I can't deal with that.  If I place most of the numbers into combat THAT is somethign I can effect.  Then I can leave the rest..which would be ROLE PLAYING to role playing rather then roll playing...I hope I got my point across...you don't need fantsy feats or magic numbers or dice ALL the time you can make your character something through working with your char.</blockquote>
