[QUOTE="Corwin, post: 7714023, member: 1560"] Running? How should I know? You are the one bringing it up. You tell us. I should hope not. What a nightmare that would be, to have the feat list all the topics appropriate in any situation. If only there were people at the table telling a story rather than just reading a sentence out of the book, state the mechanic being invoked, rolling a die, and moving their meeple to the designated space... Clearly not true. Because if it is [I]you[/I] playing such a character (implied by the pronouns you chose), talking in that way (as you describe), you are clearly not the DM. Therefor incapable of making that claim (that what you decide to say doesn't matter). Speaking for me and my group, I can tell you this: Neither me, nor my fellow players, would accept such a clearly ridiculous pandering to the basest, blind RAW reading, of the feat. You make zero effort to consider the need (or desire) for contextual roleplaying or any effort by the player to interact [I]with [/I]the NPC. You think you can just spew random words [I]at [/I]someone to achieve the social interaction pillar. I just realized what your interpretation reminds me of: filibustering. You basically think your character can filibuster for one minute to trigger the "magic trick". I see nothing in the rules, nor this feat, telling me that is the intent. Nah. I'll just play D&D as intended and interact with my DM, as proxy to the NPC, to achieve the social pillar of the game. I'm not going to tweet the devs every session, describe what the scene is about, and ask for roleplaying advice from them. I have. I do. And I will again. In this case as well. I never said any such thing. You really need to quit arguing from a position of disingenuousness. Its unbecoming. And rude. I ask that you please stop erecting strawmen in a desperate attempt to somehow "win" on the internets (as if that's even possible). [/QUOTE]
