[QUOTE="GreatLemur, post: 3284366, member: 28553"] I think Mutants & Masterminds does this pretty logically with an Attractive feat (or something like that), which gives a +4 on interaction roles with anyone who might logically find you attractive (based on gender, sexual orientation, species, etc.). I [i]think[/i] it leaves the door open for pretty people getting bonuses to Intimidate rolls, which doesn't really make sense to me, but otherwise it's cool. Of course, it can certainly be argued that sexual attraction isn't really necessary to somebody to want to believe or follow someone else, so I think it'd be reasonable to still give the character a +2 when they ain't the right gender to qualify for the full bonus. Sounds like a circumstancial bonus, to me. Something that should be adjudicated on a case-per-case basis, with a suggested bonus of, say, +2. Or, for that matter, a penalty of -2. I don't think it really has to be part of anybody's character sheet. [/QUOTE]
