[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5542978, member: 15538"] So for partial deafness, do I get a Hero Point when I make a check to hear something? Or whenever it might be useful to do so? Etc. Actually, thanks to his Enhanced Abilities, it would be very simple. Except it doesn't. You just pick a number equal to or lower than a sub-trait. You could make it -1 and still be the King of Fighters, if you wanted. That's not what I'm talking about. You don't need Charisma to be charismatic. -- Actually, it's called Presence now.
