[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7533154"] I feel like this question (willfully?) ignores what some of us have been saying, and doesn't even remotely address the post it is referring to. It kind of feels like one of those discussions where the other person is just waiting for their chance to make their point, and isn't really listening to what you are saying. But that aside, I have two answers for you: 1) As I and others have said, the way some of us adjudicate interparty conflict is by allowing the target of any hostile action (that would include persuasion) to narrate the outcome. So it's perfectly symmetric. 2) Skill use is NOT a spell or an attack. There are very, very few rules that say, "If you roll a success at your skill, here is the outcome...". There is certainly nothing that says a successful Persuade roll compels action. So if you're in a game that allows "interparty conflict" using dice rolls, and you show up with social skills while everybody else is using spells and physical attacks (which DO have specific rules describing outcomes) then you're kind of like the proverbial guy who brings a knife to a gun fight.
