[QUOTE="JimAde, post: 1506929, member: 16739"] I think a comeliness stat can be worthwhile. Especially if your game is more RP-heavy and shorter on the "kill the monsters and take their stuff" aspect. At the risk of turning D&D into Champions, you could do this (for point buy only): Comeliness is a 7th stat, but is only worth half as many points. It starts at 8 and you increase your point-buy pool by 1, so if the extra point goes to compeliness you get a 10. A given stat level costs half what it would for any other stat. Regular campaign maximum applies. Reducing it only nets you half as many points, too. Then in-game, you do everything normally unless the DM rules the situation would use your comeliness modifier instead of Charisma. In most cases, the player could always choose to use Charisma, but could use Comeliness by taking a different tack. Against targets who don't normally favor your race you would get a penalty, but I think that would be true even without a new stat. And trying to use your Comeliness modifier with someone who is not attracted to your particular gender would be highly amusing :) [/QUOTE]
