[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8471309, member: 6779196"] What on earth are you talking about? Because they might be needed when they try to socially leverage other NPCs. And secondarily because a monster’s ability scores and proficiencies can inform the DM’s portrayal of that monster. 👍 That’s just the status quo being maintained. What’s the [I]consequence[/I]? And you COULD roll a die to determine how intimidating the NPC is, but the rules lay out the roles of the players, the DM, and the dice for a reason. No it isn’t, because in the case of swinging the axe, it is not the player’s role to determine the outcome of that action. In the case of intimidating the PC, it is. To resolve social actions with uncertain outcomes. It’s just that the outcome of an NPC attempting to socially leverage a PC is not uncertain. Indeed, no one has. [/QUOTE]
