@MikeADavidson @mikemearlsPC attempts to intimidate NPC: would you do a CHA (Intim.) vs Wis saving throw contest? Or is there a better option? Thx! You could do it as a regular contest: Charisma (Intimidation) vs. Wisdom (Insight).

@MikeADavidson @mikemearlsThanks! Would Charisma (Diplomacy) be handled the same way? Depends on intent. Two people having a duel of wits could each make a Charisma (Persuasion) check for a contest.

@MikeADavidson @mikemearls In contrast, if a character is making a twisty argument to someone, it could be Persuasion vs. Insight.

@MikeADavidsonThanks! (Sorry, I meant Persuasion, not Diplomacy…still have my 4e campaign running, plus new 5e game.) No worries! I made the same mistake, deleted my tweet, and then rewrote it with Persuasion!
