[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8566531, member: 84112"] okay lets As a DM I would tell the barbarian to invest in a mechancial way to do so. by itself no... but it sure can hint at one again... you have used entirely IN game explanations... what I oppose is OUT of game skill here lets try this 2 players sit down, one really good at talking people into things and really smart (math, riddles you name it... heck he reads engeneering books for fun) but he plays a Barbarian with an 8cha and a 10int. the other is pretty slow at figureing things out, and is shy and doesn't talk alot, but He is the fastest at the table, the strongest at the table, and know 3 martial arts... he playes a Cha 15 Int 14 Warlock that boosts both every chance he has... Over the course of 20 sessions, the DM throws 5 riddles against the party. the barbairan just solves 4 like blurt out answer cause to him they are obvius, (the warlock is let to have 1) and of the 10 times they need to talk to someone 8 of them the barbarian player takes over and IRL is a smooth talker so he can get the NPCs to agree cause he can get the DM to agree... after all that how would you feel about them LARPing combat and physical challages?
