[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 4453129, member: 177"] There are several different skills that players can use during the course of a session. As a generalization, "player skill" is often used to refer to "player skill with the rules of the game" - just like someone can be skilled at poker, backgammon, or Monopoly, someone can be skilled at playing the game of D&D. This includes, but is not limited to the skills of character building, or use of tactics in D&D combat. There are also skills involved in interacting between players - someone can be skilled in knowing when to take or step back from spotlight time in a session. Sometimes, we refer to player skill to differentiate it from the character's skills. RPGs often have in-game social skills, so social interaction in the game is not necessarily dominated by the player skill with social interaction - a player who isn't good at public speaking can play a character who is.
