Socialize

Socialize.png

Socialize reflects your character’s ability to interact with others in a variety of situations, from talking people up in the local taverns to comporting himself with dignity while at Court. This Skill represents equal parts gregariousness, sensitivity, etiquette and custom. Knowing how to make friends is no less important than understanding how to treat guests in formal situations. Characters with low dots might be naturally entertaining or approachable, but unschooled in the finer arts of social interaction. Or they could be punctilious with their manners but difficult to approach. Conversely, characters with high dots could have the social graces of a practiced diplomat or High born noble, knowing just what to say and when to say it in any given situation.
