What actually annoys me is not the social combat. It is the great triangle's assumption, that someone will stay there and listen to him. He can throw an unexpected social attack, no one can stop him, but if he decides to use a regular one, more importantly one enhanced with charm, there is a good chance that he will roll for join battle instead of join debate.<br/><br/>Offensive solar charms are rough equivalent to lethal weapons. Using charms to change an ally's mind isn't much more polite than using Heaven Thunder Hammer to move him a step aside and can quite often provoke the same response. The stick in "speak softly and carry a big stick" is there for a reason, and one trying such tricks should better have one.
