I don't generally like that method. No issues so far. Players don't just dump on Beauty (or Comeliness, Attractiveness, Looks, Appearance etc.), neither on Luck, which is a more recent addition. Oh, and not necessarily on Charisma, for that matter. But then the way I run things, Charisma can swing events just as much as any other ability, though really a player's wits, inventiveness and resourcefulness will count for more than any of them. There's no real incentive per se to dump on a particular ability, other than perhaps Beauty/et al. Interestingly, that ability still nonetheless ranges from very low to very high, consistently. I think it will depend very much on you as a DM, and the group(s) of players involved. The only way to truly know is to try it out, and see if it works. My advice would be to ignore any advice - based purely or substantially on opinion - that tells you what to do with your game or group. :\ (I don't think that was self-contradictory). <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Best of luck with it.</blockquote>
