Heh, I ripped off BtiLC as well.  My group sent their martial artist
(who has no social skills at all) into Chinatown to get some
information.  Getting nowhere even after he resorts to violence the
martial artist leaves grumpily (they had nothing to tell).  Meanwhile
the rest of the group while walking down the street - see what seems to
be lightning crackle in a side alley and a chinese gentleman with a
wide brimmed basket hat walks out.  He had a quiet word about them
keeping their martial artist on a shorter leash and then walked on.  It
was the first time I've seen my group be respectful towards an NPC
without testing his combat capabilities first.  It's amazing what some
special effects and a picture printed off the internet can do ;-)

Cheers
