Design dialogue incorporating skill checks for a conversation with {{npc_name}} about {{conversation_topic}}.

**Available Skills:**
{{skill_list}}

**Skill Check Design:**

*Per Check Include:*
- Skill and difficulty tier
- Player dialogue option text
- Success outcome and dialogue
- Failure outcome and dialogue
- Partial success (if applicable)

**Conversation Structure:**

[Opening - No Check Required]
NPC: "{{opening_line}}"

[Branch Point 1]
→ [PERSUASION - Medium] "Option A text"
   → Success: Outcome + dialogue
   → Failure: Outcome + dialogue
→ [INTIMIDATE - Hard] "Option B text"
→ [KNOWLEDGE - Easy] "Option C text"
→ [No Check] "Option D text"

**Design Principles:**
- No checks required to progress story
- Checks enhance, not gatekeep
- Failure still provides useful information
- Multiple valid paths to key outcomes
