Social Skills ?

[lord midnight]

Social Skills
In social skills, its where you are using what that determines the information you get, and what path you are led on by the people you meet.

Very much the Friendly character list already....


Entertaining Conversation
by keeping the conversation lively, people might drop extra clues
level determines what people are affected, the percentage it works and what level of informatin is given

Gather Rumors
useful in taverns and around village squares, you "overhear things" when bumping into them or when they bump into you instead of their normal speech. similar to the above but gives different clues in different situations.

The Use of Spectacular Language in Exciting Situations (Bluff/Boast/Intimidate?)
this is used to appear bigger or more powerful, this can get you past guards, make highwaymen give you money instead and allow you to escape many a situation, very handy at the card table

The Careful Application of Inaccurate Information (Lie)
not disimilar to bluff, one could say they are the same, Lie is useful in many situations. You can attempt to complete a quest before you defeat a target or convince someone that a certain course of action need taken.
