    It really does diminish the power of tailoring your party to specialties.

    If the guy I’m talking to starts being a dick why can’t I choose to have my badass character intimidate him? If they’re nice why can’t I use my charismatic character? Should be able to choose who responds to what whenever you like, it would make dialogue with NPCs so much more involved.

      Intimidation is a charisma skill. A hulking half-orc barbarian with violent tendencies is less intimidating than the party bard.

      As a piper, obviously, the bard could threaten to play the bagpipes out of tune so I can see where WotC were going with making it a Cha skill, but still.
