Some scenarios:
Bandit: "Hands up, this is a robbery! I will blow your heads off, I swear!" + pointing big weapon at someone's head (intimidate. Success = people does what he says in fear of being shot in the face, some might freak out, but this is where the level of successes plays a part and how hard it is to control a crowd).
Policeman: "I will now inform you that this interview is over, and it turned into an interrogation instead. Anything you say from this point on can be considered evidence, do you understand? Now, lets hear the story again, without the lies." + lots of hours using different interrogation-techniques and pumping the suspect for information. (Interrogation. The degrees of success can point out how much info the suspect remembers and talk about).
Tourist: "Ni hao! I be looking for famous museum! Maybe you know and tell me?" asking people on the street, checking out the tourist-information (Inquiry. Is it hard to find that particular museum? It could require a modifier to find, if it is easy or hard).
Politician: "I will say no to everything the normal person don't want! I will do whatever the common people does! I will lower taxes! Give everyone a free car! Bring you cake, personally, on your birthday!" (Charm, targets are easily gullible people that vote for people that mention one thing they like and don't really listen to what the politician says. Success means they vote, failure can mean they see through the lies).
And so on.
The rules tells us to use mostly Fellowship for interaction skills. Mostly. I think that willpower and intelligence should be more used than just fellowship. Sometimes perception as well. Willpower could mean that you keep your head clear while talking in a stressed situation and make others bend to your will, like intimidate. Interrogation is already a willpower-skill.
Hope that helps!
