[QUOTE="Henry, post: 51352, member: 158"] Character appearance as a general rule should NEVER be determined by a dice roll - if a Player wants an "Aryan-stock" pretty-boy, or a raven-haired goddess, let them. However, Charisma will still determine how the person interacts with others, simply put, Charisma does not influence inward characteristics, only outward expressions of those characteristics. This is an excellent argument for not having CHA penalties for Orcs and half-orcs of course, but force of personality on the outside world is more important than a physical beauty standard. Did you ever see the old black-and-white Twilight Zone epsiodes with Rod Serling? The ones about the pig-faced people, and the second one about the girl that was forced to choose a beautiful body, but it turned her into a mindless clone? Good examples of how beauty and charisma do not necessarily have anything to do with one another. [/QUOTE]
