Point of comparison:
@helloMCDM Draw Steel uses a mechanic where mentioning specific topics can give bonuses to an persuasion roll.
Effectively giving an auto success is a hack on this where the accumulated bonuses = A Critical roll.
So sure.
On the "is it ok to give players auto-successes on persuasion rolls for good acting" discourse, everyone is missing one crucial point, which is that skill checks are lame and boring.
If a player says, "I want to search behind the tapestry" and there's a secret door behind the tapestry, am I going to make them roll perception to find it?
If players are presented with a puzzle and one of them works out the answer, should I make them roll an investigation to determine if their character would discover it?
If players have a good argument and they're being reasonable with their request, especially if they're going with it in character to a persuadable NPC, sometimes it's better not to roll that check and just go with your gut

Let's face the facts: either Sikhs should not be allowed to carry kirpans — the very blades that killed Henry Nowak — or the public should be able to carry knives, since the current law is clearly not working.
Justice must be applied equally to all.

Zelensky: No, no, you saved Europe
🇺🇸 veteran: My hero
Zelensky: No, you are our hero
