[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8463049, member: 23751"] I don't limit that. I just do something similar to the genius intelligence. I run what is said through a charisma filter. So if I have an eloquent player who is playing a PC with a 7 charisma, even the most eloquent speech is going to be run through that filter and the NPC is going to hear the speech come out of the PC sounding like a braying mule. Okay, a bit of hyperbole there, but you get the drift. ;) The same goes for the high charisma PC and player who stammers and stutters. The NPCs are going to hear a much clearer and inspirational speech. Very likely. My 8 year old who is a little mini me in personality clashes with me all the time. Agreed, but in a much more limited(one continent) scope. My mother is a therapist with a Masters. My uncle as well. My two of my mother's ex-husbands are PHD psychologists with prominent, well known clientele. All of them have said they thought I have ADHD, but I've never been officially diagnosed. My son was just diagnosed with it, though, and as I said above, the little guy is a mini me. It's interesting about the autism behaviors you mention. While ADHD is not on the autism spectrum, a lot of the behaviors are related and they share some symptoms. The other night my wife came in with some TikTok video asking "ADHD" questions and asking the viewer to see if any apply. A lot of them applied in whole or almost like what I feel or do. Then the guy was like, "Surprise! Those are autism behaviors." None of my family have ever thought I was on the autism spectrum. I have actually been debating getting an official diagnosis to help with my focus issues. [/QUOTE]
