[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 2223787, member: 14403"] First of all, Charisma (IMHO) doesn't represent physical beauty... it is your force of personality. You can have the most attractive character in the world but have a real attitude problem that makes people dislike you. Conversely, you can have an ugly character that people just naturally feel drawn to and follow. I'm going to commit a mortal internet sin by invoking his name but Adolf Hitler is the perfect example of Charisma. Not exactly the most impressive looking man but nobody can dispute his ability to lead so many people to throw away common sense and embrace his own twisted values. In 1E Unearthed Arcana a separate stat was created called Comeliness which was a measure of physical beauty. In my opinion it should have been kept because people keep confusing physical beauty with charisma (look up the word in a dictionary and you'll see it really has nothing to do with beauty). [/QUOTE]
