In order to get somebody to do something, you have to leverage their Intimacies. You can try to figure out the intimacies just by role-playing with the NPC or make the equivalent of an Insight check. Alternatively you can try to instill a new Intimacy with the equivalent of a Persuasion check.The intimacies also come in various levels, so to convince somebody to do something that risks their life you have to leverage their highest level of intimacies, but just getting a discount from a merchant could use any intimacy. For the "Rollplay vs Roleplay" Exalted has a stunt system, which basically says you get a bonus if you describe what you are doing in a cool fashion. The well roleplayed argument gets the bonus, but the shy player with a high Charisma character still can make the roll with no penalty. Finnally there's a just as many charms, the equivalanet of class abilities in  classes system, that apply to the social system as there are for the combat system.</blockquote>
