(He, Him)
Two great examples to my mind areWhat would an NPC influencing a PC via a social skill look like in the context of 5e D&D?
An NPC uses deception to pass themselves off as someone they are not. I might use passive Insight for the PCs, except say the one with noble background with a strong history skill who benefits from that.
Another is where I see in official adventures advice to consider turning a TPK into imprisonment. I might use the NPCs Intimidation skill opposed by say PC Constitution (Deception) for the NPC to pry information from the prisoners.
