I'm in a game now where many PCs do a lot of Public Speaking and have the skill on their sheets, but the GM tends to go by rolepaying whenever possible rather than calling for skill checks. If the game runs late and we players are starting to feel stupid, we have the option to ask for a skill check, though.

The set-up is space opera, FTL travel gets you between stars in weeks to months, but messages travel no faster than the ships. PCs are on a mission with plenipotentiary powers.
