So therapy no jutsu, and honing ones ability to engage in feats of rhetoric during the rigors of combat, is not a thing we can do?

It is not, because my suspension of disbelief stretches only so far.
What about Deceit?
Edit:
Only for Deceit checks related to combat, obviously.

Bluffs in general count as part of applicable combat skills to save myself some effort on the hideously complicated series of calculations my system involves, unless they're apart from combat.

Soo... no Ranma 1/2 crossover elements?
So Kakara using Deceit to get Berra with the Solar Flare was a result of the system not being completely fine-tuned back then?
I'm actually a little surprised that the Saiyan exiles don't have a pronounced flyting streak. They're a naturally fractious warrior species forcibly capped in their indulgence of it and pressed into suffocating human forms for most of their lives. Epic rap battles seem like they would emerge as a natural outlet for establishing position and resolving conflicts that don't rise to the level of running off to tattle to the largely arbitrary authorities. I would have expected a long and semi-formalized tradition with serious social weight and consequence.

[X] Nothing. You said you would mediate, and they have followed the rules. If this is their decision, it's their decision.

No, that was because the bluffing occurred out of combat. It wouldn't have been fair to treat it as combat in that case; you'd have lost easily and neither of you were engaged in fighting.
Oh, I'm sure they're popular, but it's not like sparring is forbidden. Thanks to the Training Hall, anybody can train to their absolute utmost without having to trouble the outside world. With healers, they don't even have to worry as much about holding back.
It sounded as if there were some pretty intense social pressures to keep one's power down, and that the house leaders in particular tended to make life hard for anybody other than them who took it seriously in order to maintain their monopoly on force.

There are pressures to keep you max strength down, yes, but as a martial artist could tell you, a spar isn't strength training.

Yeah, if I don't see even a single contrary vote soon, I'll close the vote tonight and update right after.

Doesn't night time make you sleepy? Wouldn't you want to call it earlier so you don't have to write the update while sleepy?

It's only 19:13 where I am. This isn't late at all.

Most likely. I'll leave it 30 minutes more -- I'm playing CKII at the moment.
