[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9115389, member: 7034611"] they also have said you do not need to roleplay it, you can just say what your argument is. They have also said that attributes inform the result, which if this were purely a matter of roleplay would be impossible. That would be a contradiction to what you interpreted, so as far as I can tell, you ignored that. I resolved it by saying they want no system that makes any actual argument the player has to make obsolete and reduces it all to 'say nothing about how you do it, simply use a skill and roll a die'. My take is they want a roll against a DC, but you cannot just say 'I persuade / intimidate the NPC' and then roll. You have to say how you do it, e.g. 'I offer X to the NPC' or 'I threaten the NPC with Y' and then you make your roll, with the DC somewhat adjusted for what you said you offer / threaten clarifications always change things.
