Clever. It's "Trilani" though.

Probably a bit late, but I only read the first page or two just now.
This is charisma, to me:

Quote:

The power manifest in a shaman. In its disembodied and impersonal form, supernatural power is called mana, but when mana manifests itself through a shaman, it is often referred to as charisma. The greater the supernatural power of the shaman, the greater his or her charisma. There are many theories concerning the nature of the shaman's charisma. For example, Aberle [1966:229] contests that "variations in amount of charisma . . . are correlative with amounts and kinds of unpredictability and uncontrollability."

Aberle, David F. 1966. "Religio-Magical Phenomena and Power, Prediction and Control" Southwestern Journal of Anthropology

This is the only way that the charisma stat ever made sense to me in the game. Disregard the terms of shaman and mana in the above quote, it can be applied to pretty much anyone in the game to make this stat seem relevant. Other than specifically adding to spells and skills, it has no bearing in how one looks, how one is treated or reacted to. People don't run around and say, "Hey, what is your charisma? I need to know so that I can react accordingly."

I vote na because I don't think it should be on all of the time. I think even during a month in where there isn't a grp, it should be on at least one week/mo

i can't fully understand those two sentences but uh...

the idea proposes 1 day every 2 weeks, like movie night with friends
you want one week a month

it's the same yeah?

Maybe I read it wrong but I thought the OP was saying that it should be on all of the time. Not just biweekly

As usual you'd be wrong.

say bi-weekly, on the weekend? or other options, by player request

Also, CHA has nothing to do with what your character looks like.

[REDACTED]. This is based off of the presidential debates of Kennedy and Nixon, and there have been a lot of work that has gone into this. That's why politicians try to have great haircuts, and look great. It's *part* of charisma, even if it isn't the whole package.

Heres my two cents on how I see the stats affecting your character's traits
*STR: amount of muscle
*DEX: how toned the muscle is, 20 str and dex is ripped like jesus, 23 str and 15 dex is the Governator
*CON: physical attractiveness. asthmatic is skin and bones, unhealthy a crackhead, healthy a fatty, durable you are in shape and looking good, hardened you are stacked and pretty as hell
*INT: you can figure stuff out quickly
*WIS: you already can tell what to do
*CHA: how well you talk. repulsive means a [REDACTED] bag, distant is a shy person, socialable a regular person, influental+ a motivational speaker

I'd rather not have +exp unless its a worldwide or special roleplay event. Personally I would like to see an event that affects the whole world, so good and evil have to work together. Every character I've played has been attacked without cause, just for its alignment. i understand an aggro NPC, but an aggro PC thats never seen me before?
