[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5803063, member: 9037"] Having social skills in the game allows you to attract both types of players if you really think about it. A group with a lot of charismatic people at the table can choose to house rule social skills out and just go with role playing all those type encounters. A group who has players with issues or who just don't want to mess with role playing have a rule that adjudicates how to handle it. Some people have the natural ability to sell ice to Eskimos but most of us don't. A person with a high charisma represents that type of person I have only really seen one person at a gaming table who in real life represents that level of charisma. I have a friend who is in a wheelchair from being born with spinal bifida in real life he could not swing a sword in combat or be an agile tumbling rogue yet the game allows him to play out his fantasy and no one ever has an issue with that but a shy person having the fantasy of being a fast talking bard or swashbuckler seems to cause some people to have issues. A game that tries to be inclusive for different type of players and play styles is going to be more successful than one that excludes people. [/QUOTE]
