Ignoring Social Challenges

(1/6) > >>

Mass Trauma NPC:
Since it was brought up in another thread it spurred me to bring up my curiosity. Why is it a house rule that you may ignore a social challenge by expending a willpower?

Anklebiter Leaps-into-Danger:
I presume the answer is "because people are going to do it anyway, so we might as well make it cost something".

Mass Trauma NPC:
I refuse to accept a lack of resistance to cheating as an answer.

Nike 'Slays the Patriarchy' Strilakos:
this.  peopel tend to not like when another PC dictates how they think/feel/act.  so stuff like persuasion etc is often ignores.  this way it is legit and costs something precious.

Mike:
Persuasion the gift can't be ignored with willpower, Persuasive the social trait can.

Willpower is only supposed to be used if it is against the character's Demeanor or Nature.
That's how it was originally setup in RAtC by me and may have been adjusted by staffs after me.
