Communication skill affects prices?

I heard that Communication skill affects prices? - so you should have your person with the highest comm skill do all of your buying and selling. Is this true, and how much does this affect them (10% lower) etc.

It is assumed that the highest communication person is always talking to the merchant, otherwise you'd see their prices change as you switched from person to person.

Yep, you're both right. Higher communication - lower prices, and the game always uses the highest available communication value of your party, so there's no need to let a certain character do the shopping (well, if you're grateful, you let the females have their fun and the males have a beer instead

). Quite a good idea to do it that way, ST!
