Poor Sildar...

What!? Who is short here? I'll show you short!!

Objection. This is most likely out of character.

I might inject, that this is a very drastic measure that some groups will find to be annoying. As long as they are actually debating constructively, then the example above isn't even needed. If, as the comment says, the debate is going in circles, some groups can be brought back on track by simply telling them: "So guys... What are you going to do? Because you've been doing the same back and forth for half an hour now?"

Not saying that you should not use the above method. Just saying that some players will find that to be an "extreme" solution. Instead, simply reminding them, that they should probably get to a result within the next five minutes can do.

Thanks.

Please. Its not that bad. Baldurs Gate is a nice place. With a lot of crimes. And horrible Living conditions. There are also a lot of politicians. Did I mention all the noise reporters...? Okay maybe it's that bad.

Thanks. He seems like a really cool guy.

Who ist this guy?

Ah yes. Good ol' Volo. Nice to see him from time to time. I should use his books more often.

Fortunes Favor doesn't seem like the optimal spell to use in a situation like this (even if you could). Unless the games include no social component, enhance ability would be better.

About the house rule: I get why you'd use the rule for simplicity, but especially if your not playing a cleric, but instead a wizard or an artificer, it seems weird to make the PC a chosen one by having those spells.

I usually give NPCs a set selection of spells they use. But this set is only their prepared spell-list, it varies depending on the NPC and most preparation-casters will have access to the other spells on their list, should the need arise (as it most likely won't, so there is no extra work on my part).

Oh. That sounds very interesting. Thanks.

Who's Aribeth?
