Idea for inclusion in an adventure:

I was thinking about ways to include, for lack of a better term, ‘non-combat’ combat. Basically, this uses most of the mechanics from Combat, but moves them towards things like debates. I have included the basic notes that I have come up with. Thoughts?

Initiative: Roll initiative Dice equal to your Passive Charisma value.
Attack: Persuasion (Ch) Action Skill Roll
Weapon: Wit = Logic(Ch) (d)
Damage: Stamina (just to keep it simple)
AR: Passive Resolve
Speed: 5
Criticals: Deals a “Wound” vs. Passive Charisma.

Modifiers:
Metaphysical Understanding – Add Passive In to Damage and AR vs. Spirits and Shades.
Inspirational Presence – Add Passive Ch to damage vs. ‘heretics.’
Unshakable Dogma – Boost to your Discipline, as per the talent vs. heretics.
Alien Understanding – Add Passive In to Damage and AR vs. Infernals and Undead.
Exploit Weakness – As the talent, but for this.
Judge of Character – Gain bonus to Empathy from this talent to Persuasion Attack Roll.
Political Maneuvering – May ‘interrupt’ an opponent as a push attack.
Voice Like Honey – May add Passive Ch to all damage rolls.
Born Leader – Provide AR equal to your Ch to all Allies.
Hard to Read – Gain Passive In to your Discipline Defence
Intuitive Mind – Gain Passive Lo to Discipline Defence

You could add or subtract speed from the argument based on the races involved, flaws (jingoistic, prejudiced), etc.

Thoughts?
