Talking
Talking is the basic social skill used in all conversation. If you can speak the right language you can speak to anyone. If your words aren’t quite convincing enough the GM may have you roll (Talking + CHA) vs (Intuition + INT). Also keep in mind this is your mental attack skill.

Abilities
“Words that Hurt” (Active)
Description: Using this ability you can properly use your words as a weapon. You have ATK equal to (Talking + Bluffing + Etiquette + Leadership + Intimidation + CHA) and have (CHA x1) offence. This damage is all dealt to MP and is resisted with mental defence (Intuition or Will Power combined with Intelligence)
“Diplomancy” (Active)
Cool Down: Quick Rest
Description: Who needs actual words and thought when you can roll dice? You can choose once per quick rest to put everything on a roll when talking. If you fail the roll you insulted the person if you succeed whatever you tried to say gets through to the person perfectly no matter how strange.
“Hold On” (Active)
Description: You press the person for more details on what they just said and they must tell you more although they don’t need to tell the truth.
“Turnabout” (Active)
If you figure out someone is lying and prove it with evidence you can object to it and deal tremendous damage to their MP. (Either 25% or your CHA multiplied by 5 whichever is higher) if this is done as the final blow in social combat it will knock the opponent to the ground.
“Being of Hatred” (Active)
Cool Down: Long Rest
Social manipulation is a beautiful thing. You are the puppet master without need for any movements. And what can drive one more than sheer hatred? This allows you to whisper a phrase that makes anyone and everything hate you more than anyone else.
