[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 161545, member: 2013"] [b]Yoda...[/b] You must unlearn. Unlearn! Seriously, it's 2e-speak there. Charisma is not "how attractive you are physically," but rather a measure of your personal sense of self and power... IOW, how you project your will onto others (as opposed to Wisdom, which in some respects measures how difficult it is for others to influence your will). Divorce "Charisma" from "Comeliness" in your thinking - there are plenty examples of comely people with lousy charisma (think of that obnoxious cheerleader back in high school) and vice versa (think Hitler or Bill Clinton - not trying to compare the two in any fashion other than "charismatic leader/ugly guy"). 1e used to have comeliness. 3e has no such stat. You (general, not to anyone in particular) might be "hot" as a nypmh but if you retain your geek habits of scratching your butt, failing to wash, and being an obnoxious loudmouth, you're not going to be very charismatic. --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
