@bored said in Social Combat: Reusing Physical Combat System?:

The super powers vs non is an important point. I think people often get so wrapped up in 'dice should matter' that they lose some idea of the scope of this stuff they're asking for. There are things 'good social skills' can do, but outright controlling others, changing their beliefs, etc, is hard.

Right. That's why I brought that up.

If you allow standard social rolls in CoD to accomplish what should be monumental tasks, like changing an anti-choice advocate into a pro-choice soldier, then you obviate supernatural powers. And the powers are supernatural because they accomplish things without explanation.

@Seraphim73? @Sparks? Looks like we have a good, old-fashioned competition here! Yee-haw!
