[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8480866, member: 84112"] let me step in again. Yes and No, If you let a social skill (or any skill or roll for that matter) control what the PC/NPC thinks or acts or talks, then yes. If you do not let social skills dictate response, just stimuli, then using them on both PC and NPC does not go against the pg185 guidance/rule. If persuasion is to let the player know "This NPC made a persuasive argument even if I the DM can not word a persuasive argument" and the player decides how to react to it... If intimidate is to let the player know "This NPC did things and said things that are intimidateing even if the DM can not word it" and the player decides how to react... If persuasion is to let the DM know "This PC made a persuasive argument even if I the Player can not word a persuasive argument" and the DM decides how to react to it... If intimidate is to let the DM know "This PC did things and said things that are intimidateing even if the Player can not word it" and the DM decides how to react... now being consistent with your character (PC/NPC) means it shouldn't be super hard to figure out what the reactions will be most times...
