Title: Public Debate

Summary: Swordfighters have Duels with which to dispatch their detractors.  How about a Public Debate feature using the Oratory skill?

Details: Just as Duels have a place in medieval history, so too does public debate.  From a code perspective, some of it could be nearly copy/pasted from Dueling, I imagine.  The participants could pick how they'll go about 'attack' or 'defense' in the debate.  Clearly one is unlikely to be killed or wounded in a debate, but it could certainly have an impact on someone's honour or prestige!

Benefits:  Provides an alternative to dueling, giving players more options when it comes to their enemies and foes.

Possible Exploits:  None spring to mind.

You should take everything I say with a grain of salt.  But I'm not a werewolf.  Really.
