The character is a young woman (19 yrs old) with a 17 CHA. IMC, high CHA doesn't necessarily mean looks as opposed to persuasiveness, etc.; but the player and I discussed this at the start of the campaign and decided that at least part of her CHA was looks. She also periodically plays for her supper in the taproom of the local inn. All of this means she is occasionally subjected to leers and a few comments. Nothing "R" rated, but it does mean she has to deal with sexism in character from time to time.Recently, an NPC was being a bit condescending to her and basically hitting on her. Again, nothing lewd or graphic, but something that might make some players uncomfortable. The player in question handled it quite well and the exchange will play nicely into later events where this NPC may be causing the party grief.I guess the short answer to the quetion is Yes, I use sexism, but not all the time and only to the extent it helps the story or RP along.</blockquote>
