[QUOTE="Thresher, post: 693875, member: 9983"] Dilated pupils are a sign of stress and axiety usually, though they also happen under the influence of stimulants and hallucinagens. Youre right about the large eyes though, apparently theyre a fairly common physical focal point that humans at least find attractive. In other humans anyway :) As for attractiveness and charisma, in my opinion attractiveness is far too subjective to the individual species, while it may have a slight bearing on the initial 'Notice ME!' encounter it aint going to help out in the long term. ie: Harry Buff the fighter has a very attractive appearance which women find pleasing. Unfortunatly for Harry, he lacks social graces and the whole initial encounter with the attractive bar maid he fancies goes down hill when he opens his mouth and says something stupid like "Nice norks luv!" and proceeds to pick his nose and wipe it on the bar. Now, Harry's friend Bob the sorcerer is possessed of completely average looks and people wouldnt notice him on the street next to any other peasent. But, Bob says things people want to hear, like to hear and is sure enough of himself to actually convince others that he is saying the right thing. In both cases people might remember the handsome young fighter passing through town or the man with the stick that complimented farmer Joe on the quality of his vegetables. Its up to you if you use a 7th stat, either rolling for it or electing it. Being average looking has a lot of advantages, especially if your a rogue :) [/QUOTE]
