*waves*<br/><br/>I'm all good with social combat, some things worth noting are:<br/><br/>I'm not teribly savvy pertaining too it.   (Not utterly ignorant, but I haven't ever been in a full out social combat either, and only 2 mass combats.)<br/><br/>Being a roll play heavy kind of guy, I have no issues with the system.<br/>----The common objection to it seems to be that people don't like the idea that their is a mechanic for persuading their charecter to change their mind from what the player intended.  But why not?  This is a roll playing game.  I don't have to kill you to kill your charecter.  I don't have to sleep with you for our charecters to sleep together?  Why should their not be a fair and well thought out mechanic for persuading your charecter that something is a good idea even if you don't think so.  After all, just as my charecter might be a better swordsman than I am, so might my charecter be more persuasive than I am.<br/><br/>--Common objection number 2:  "It's role play, not roll play."  That's what the stunt is for, and the stunt system is the most beautiful thing about hte most beautiful game of exalted.<br/><br/>Most other common objections are based upon misundersatings of social combat.  I'm still figure out the whole thing myself.<br/><br/>For the record, though:<br/>In charecter is in character, and this game is in the NC section.  Blaze, Paladin, please enjoy Bast in any way you see fit and can succeed in doing so.<br/>In character is in character, and this game is in the NC section.  I will not take offense OOC at anything anyone does IC short of maliciously cutting me out of the game.  Of course, that's not to say that Bast won't.<br/><br/><br/>
