I'm not much of a social butterfly. So I guess I don't always see the point of being a Social character achetype.
But forgive me for asking what does a Face do during a run beyond negoitating with Mr. J., schmoozing contacts for more goodies and the occaisional Q/A? Don't just feed me skill thoughts here agng, talk to me in terms of generalities, examples and so forth. Lets get a nice discussion going. Show me your favourite builds/chars. Stories. C'mon gang! Lets really do some schooling |
