[simply Nathan]

I only have three social skills, and a couple primarily knowledge-based skills with secondary social purposes.

Deception is the skill of lying to people.

Persuasion is the skill of convincing people to go along with what you want.

Intimidation is the skill of scaring or bullying people into doing what you want.


Merchant has a social application (Will-based Merchant skill for haggling), but its primary purpose is to appraise the value of loot.

Combat Lore has a social application (rallying people to fight a la Leadership) but it's mostly a combination of Tactics, Strategy, and Soldier.

Religion is mostly about theological and ritual knowledge and deducing the weaknesses of supernatural foes, but of course I'd allow a little social leverage out of it for dealing in church affairs.
