Social Skills

Realm of Strife™ > Secondary Skills > Social Skills

Social skills are a school of secondary skills that focus on a character’s ability to interact, influence, and navigate social situations within the game world. These skills provide characters with the tools to navigate complex social interactions, influence NPCs, gain information, and potentially avoid confrontations or secure advantageous positions. They reflect a character’s ability to understand others, adapt to social norms, and achieve their goals through non-violent means. This offers an avenue for role-playing and character development beyond combat encounters, providing abilities and strategies to navigate and manipulate the social fabric of the game world.

Charmer


If looks could kill you’d be a mass murderer, but instead you just seem to always get your way, particularly with those who would normally be attracted to you. Whether a veritable ladies man or a femme-fatale, with the requisite charm, you are extremely dangerous in the right circumstances.

Haggler


The art of negotiation, or at least getting a good deal. Anyone can (and probably should) try to haggle when buying armor, weapons, and others goods, but the Haggler skill helps you excel at it and gets you better pricing, more consistently than your average adventurer. This skill can also be handy when bartering for information, a plus when your not a big intimidating brute.

Insight


Social insight is a subtle but useful skill that can cut through to the heart of any social interaction and reveal even the most hidden of motives. Insightful characters have a knack for reading people, discerning their true intentions, and uncovering hidden information.

Intimidator


Intimidation can be a very powerful tool both on and off the battlefield. While anyone can threaten violence, Intimidators take things one step further by instilling fear or awe in others, leveraging their presence and prowess to assert dominance or gain compliance.

Silver Tongue


Eloquent and persuasive in speech, the skills of a Silver Tongue go beyond monetary benefit and can influence almost any social interaction to favor their own goals, crafting convincing arguments or spinning tales to achieve their desired outcomes. Why fight your way through every encounter when talking will get the job done.
