[QUOTE="Falling Icicle, post: 3402984, member: 17077"] I agree that Charisma has nothing whatsoever to do with appearance. One way to represent appearance is through feats and flaws. [b]Attractive Benefit:[/b] You are particularly good looking, giving you a +2 appearance bonus to all charisma-based skill checks, except for intimidate checks. NPC's whose initial attitude toward you would be unfriendly or better may have their attitude toward you improved by one category, at the DM's discretion. [b]Special:[/b] You may only take this feat at 1st level. [b]Ugly Drawback:[/b] You have a hideous appearance, giving you a -2 appearance penalty to all charisma-based skill checks, except for intimidate checks, for which you instead have a +2 appearance bonus. NPC's whose initial attitude toward you would be neutral or better is instead one category lower than it otherwise would be. This may be avoided by disguising or otherwise covering up the character's appearance at the DM's discretion, but such actions should come with their own risks or suspicions. [b]Special:[/b] You may only take this flaw as a 1st level character, and you can't take this flaw if you have the Attractive feat or anything other feat which grants you appearance bonuses. [/QUOTE]
