[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 3730414, member: 22622"] That€'s my method. The dice roll does not trump the role playing the dice rolls effects how the npc reacts. Understand why social rules are needed. They are not needed to give the pc anything. They are there to insure the DM remains a judge and doesn't fiat stuff on a whim. Think about why AC exists. HEck a DM could just say arbitrarily what hits and what doesnt depending on how you describe your attack. Of course this gives too much power to the dm and eventually a player is going to yell favoritism. No ones telling your players how to role play or when to role play. Social rules show how roleplaying interacts with the game. Think about it like this. You can role play in any game. Heck I could really get into that car when playing monopoly or speak with a bad accent when playing goa but because there are no rules that indicate how that effects the game. If rpgs dont have mechanics for roleplaying there realy isn't any role playing in the game. [/QUOTE]
