The problem is that these skills often end up becoming a kind of mind control.

Furthermore, NPCs cant use them against PCs, without getting into a fight with the GM. If a GM said, "Ok, he rolled a 35 on his Diplomacy Check... even though you disliked him, you now think he is the coolest thing since cheese spread," a lot of players would revolt.

That being beside the point, I was simply commenting that Wulf's response seemed to suggest a complete indulgence into rolling dice without regard to roleplaying. Hence, my reply.

As it is, though, Fireborn DOES have a system for interacting with others... it just isn't as deep as the combat system - but then, few rules system ever get more complex than during combat anyway.
