D&D 4e and social conflicts?
21 September, 2009 at 10:49 pm (roleplaying-games) (4e, D&D 4e, skill challenge, skill challenges, social conflict)
Way back when 4e was previews and rumours I remember there was some talk of social conflict system. I haven’t heard much since, which is no surprise, as I don’t really follow most blogs focusing on 4e. Friend asked about the subject, so now I’m asking you:
- Is there a distinct social conflict subsystem in 4e? Particularly, distinct from skill challenges and skill rolls.
- If yes, is there some nice summary available somewhere? I have PHB and do not intend to spend any money on the other books and further I do avoid illegal (though morally justifiable) actions.
- If not, are there good examples of social skill challenges available online? I do not subscribe to the Insider and do not intend to do, so it is not very interesting for my purposes.
- Any good quality actual play reports featuring social conflicts that are handled mechanically would also be appreciated.
Thanks for help.
