Can Kelly tell that the other students don't actually believe her?

I have 3pp left unspent, if its ok with you I'd like to spend them now.
I'm going to spend 1pp on Ultimate Effort: Diplomacy
Spend a 2nd pp on 4 ranks of diplomacy, this doesn't actually raise her bonus, it just means that she would affect males and females equally, making her attractive feat superfluous mechancis wise.

Saving the last pp, unless you'd be willing to let me buy a specialized HP that would only work to power my 2 Ultimate Efforts feats.
Unless you use outright mind control its like standing in the school cafeteria and telling everyone that Osama bin Laden is not responsible for 9-11 :) sorry to use to the real world reference

Good grief. Is Kelly supposed to be the pop star version of Abe Lincoln? :p

One thing I learned watching The Office: when public speaking, occasionally raise your hands above your head and/or pound your fists onto the podium. ;)

Well she is one of the most convincing people on the planet, able to talk her way out of a fight at will, well if she ever actually wanted to avoid a fight instead of jumping right in. I think from here on out she is going to be using her considerable talents to convince people that Overseer is coming, and that everyone eeds to get ready. She'll be doing her best to bring unaffliated elites over to her side of things as opposed to Pantheon which the public believes is criminal (they do think the movement is bad, right toki?).

Toki, as per our conversation I'll spend 1pp on Ultimate effort Diplomacy. Since you were against the other 2 things I'll spend the other 2pp to raise her Charisma to 18.

Don't take any offense to this, but I'm curious. How do you explain this? Is it considered part of her powers? A confuddled teenage girl that can command the attention of world leaders is a bit...odd. :)

There are natural limits to what I will allow Diplomacy to do, you can talk down Goons 1 through 10, even the lead Goon, but Genocide will still kill you, no matter how petty that smile is.

If you note just cause Gilden succeeded in Diplomcy, he still wanted to kill him.
 

Most elites don't involve themselves with Pantheon or playing UNJE super heroes most are rich, chilling, and getting paid for doing things no one else can :)

I can't argue with that, Kelly is indeed quite odd. I'd simply point out the feats that normal people can accomplish. Look at what cult leaders can get their members to do in real life and they don't have powers. Kelly's charisma isn't really off the charts at 18. LEts look at what the benchmarks say for someone with her stats:

Charisma 18: Highly gifted, I don't really think this is too shocking for a public figure, the max for a pure human without powers is a 24-25 and thats listed as the peak of humanity.

Diplomacy 10: Makes her an expert in dealing with people, getting them to see her side of things. She's not the best in the world, but her attractiveness makes her a bit better at dealing with guys then girls, but she is certainly no slouch at either. I think this is realistically explained as having grown up being the complete center of attention, and liking that so she worked hard to be able to keep herself the center of attention. She has really always been this charismatic, I just haven't needed to put it to use. Actually the only person she tried to convince of anything was Paragon and he is even better at this then she is.

Yeah, well Diplomacy isn't really a battle skill unless you have ranks up the wazoo, what with the -20 penalty for using it as a full round action. So the reaction made sense to me.

I was sort of surprised it worked, but then again, it gave him Gilden in his talons which is probably a fond wish of his.

I was counting on his desire to get Gilden in claws more then counting on his diplomacy, personally I am surprised that he made it out uninjured.

As for the cult leader, well they are charismatic but they also search out very specific people. Its not likely someone like Charles Manson could walk into a restaurant, start talking and convert everyone to his way of thinking.

As for the cafeteria, I don't think that its they don't believe her more so then they just don't care. You probably got 1 or 2 wondering though.
