Can you give me an actual example of what you mean?

I don't believe you don't know what social combat is.

Also by "talking to your friends" are you referring to me, pemerton, talking to my friends around the table? Or are you referring to my PC, Thurgon, talking to his travelling companion Aramina?

These are the same thing.

it’s a long thread. I may have missed a similar sentiment…but here goes…

1. The importance of SAD over MAD is overblown.

2. A 16 in your prime attribute is good enough.

If part of my concept is a strong character, someone with a bunch of 8's and 10's isn't going to work for me in any D&D version. They progressively buffered against that sort of thing, but only a few versions outright prevented it.

That's just it: any concept has to be discardable if the dice don't deliver, or malleable if they only deliver partway.

Coming in to roll-up with a locked-in idea as to what you character will be is IMO the wrong way to go about it. The PH fails to make this anywhere near as clear as it should.

Indeed. Scotch All Day might be fine for thems as likes scotch, but I don't; and while Miller's is far from the best beer I'd still take Miller's All Day every time.
