The odd difference among social skills
The skill of the week thread which is about Streetwise this week brought to mind how odd some of the social skills are.
Some have a built in knowledge of cultural norms (or sub culture) and include things like symbols, Heraldry, colors, flags, uniforms, etc and area knowledge like locations and even laws. Others just focus on how to talk to someone in certain circumstances. Streeetwise and Savior Faire are pretty broad, though Savoir Faire requires a specilaity. Carousing, Fast Talk, Diplomacy and Sex Appeal are much more limited in scope. Anyone else feel thisis a bit odd? Not really broken just not perfectly balanced or symmetrical.
