[QUOTE="RFisher, post: 3395543, member: 3608"] The idea of magic as a supernatural extension of charisma is ancient. The problem with the Sorcerer class isn't (IMHO, of course) that it uses Cha. It's that it just reuses the Wiz spell list. I have serious doubts about any attempt to apply science to human behavior. Even the best usually don't really measure what they claim to measure when you look at the details. It's not just you. I've found Cameron Diaz unappealing in every movie I've seen her it. That movie that was predicated on Janine Garofalo being "ugly" & Uma Thurman being "beautiful" completely baffled me. "Beauty-related interactions" fall under Cha not because Cha correllates to comliness but because "beauty" is [i]not[/i] only skin deep. A separate comliness score, however, is not needed because, even if it were objective enough to put a score on, there's never a need to apply that score to anything. Because charisma trumps comliness. [/QUOTE]
