(Just a quick note: if you want to influence other characters through your skills, you have to clearly state it, or even directly take the skill check - for example, "Seduction check on the inn maiden: 1d8 +2 = 6, yay!". Otherwise, I'll assume NPCs to act second their natural inclination - if you don't declare you're using your skill, you're not using them ^^ I say this just to make things easier in the future and spare time)
