(S)word Schools; Words Hurt

I have been batting around a concept for (S)word School tracks for characters that focus on social combat. Some basic archetypes like a professor, lawyer, high class social butterfly, etc. My questions before I start dedicating more brain to this endeavour are:

Is this necessary?
Is it wanted?

To do:
Expand on stunting in social combat. WIP

Classes on types of social attacks paired with favored action. Working on one example

Reworking of eroding resolve, changing attitudes, forcing opinions and breaking alignment. WIP

Intelligence and lore to refute - raises make no difference in social combat, the 'free raise' is useless.

Incorporate Faith WIP

Compelling Large Crowds Not Started

How will it change Exalts that use Resolve as a resource stat?

Soft Resolve - The stuff spent and restored on a daily basis.
Hard Resolve (needs new name) - Represents the max limit of Soft Resolve, must be eroded to make someone go against friends, beliefs, faith and alignment. Takes longer to restore. Normal person one year per point, mortal hero one month per point, Exalt hero one week per point.

Hard Resolve = Willpower + Composure

Regain Resolve Alternate: 1/2 (Willpower + Composure) rounded down after eight hours rest.

Extended Mental Effort


Social Combat


Will Breaking


Stunting

You know, if you actually made a Sword School for Social Combat, it would go best with the Duelist.
I will have to look more closely at the Duelist, but it seems made for slinging words.
