[QUOTE="StAlda, post: 6080727, member: 16745"] I know about Comeliness, I had characters before the Dragon Mag article - let alone Unearthed Arcana. And yes it was a dump stat in many ways, but that was the fault of the designers not the players. I have my 5e campaign running with 8 stats and this is how I separated Charisma and Appearance (named that because of the issues previously with Comeliness). Charisma is Leadership, force of will, self confidence. Used for things like Command, spells/abilities that direct combat, Bluff, negotiating a truce, delivering an inspiring speech. Appearance is physical looks and social graces. Used for bartering for an item, flirting to get your way, getting someone to divulge a secret, gain entrance to a guarded entrance. Sure there is some overlap, but that is true with many abilities, Strength to Intimidate for example. [/QUOTE]
