[QUOTE="Nether Mage Ash, post: 4311331, member: 25548"] I must tell you I love your idea of creating a social, skill challenge using rules equivalent to normal combat encounters. I think it makes sense and allows rules to cover both the physical attacks and the social attacks. Personally, I would love to see it so that this is equal in terms of power as physical combat is. That way their would be two types of rule-based encounters - physical combat and social combat. They both would have their powers, their uses and their abilities. The fluff between them would work as much as rgular combat is - the player would call an action and then describe what the action is in terms of fluff, and then roll the necessary dice for that social action. I think it could work. All that said, I like your system, and though I haven't read it in extreme detail yet, I gotta say it is looking good. So yeah, nice job on it and I think the underlying thoughts behind it make a lot of sense and should be implemented. I should mention, as a general thought, that the company White Wolf Publishing has something like Social Combat in their Exalted line of game.
