[QUOTE="Runesong42, post: 2216899, member: 10578"] I've played GURPS, and recall having to "buy" appearance for having lack of a Charisma stat. I think it was something like 5 points for every degree of attractiveness (and greater modifiers to influence NPCs). There was another one called Voice that said you had an excellent oratory skill and/or a pleasant, musical voice that also gave bonuses to influence NPCs. What if we added a Cha related feat to represent attractiveness? Hollywood Good Looks - Requirements: must be taken at first level, Cha 15+ You have the striking good looks of the movie heartthrob of your choice. Ladies/men swoon at your feet and everyone competes for your attention. Select a preferred gender (male or female). This feat doubles your Cha bonus when trying to influence the reaction of NPCs of your race, and triples your Cha bonus when influencing the gender of your choosing. Assume that persons choosing the same gender as their character simply have "the stuff" that other people admire; this can have other effects if your game can handle elements of sexuality (GM's discretion). Upon other humanoid races, this effect is halved (round down), and has no effect on creatures of other types. At the GM's discretion, other creature types that resemble humanoids (nixies, nymphs, incubi/succubi etc) CAN be affected, at your own peril, and oftentimes without your consent. Being pretty has its disadvantages, too. ;) Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
