(02-06-2014, 07:05 PM)The Philosopher Wrote: Charisma is the mental Strength of your character, the measure of your willpower and your capacity to influence others. While it's nebulously defined - the game system lumps in "physical attractiveness" into the picture - it is not the kind of physical attractiveness you would conclude from strictly physical notions of beauty we may have, i.e. handsome face, tall, muscular, athletic, gorgeous curves. Rather, it's that personal magnetism, that certain je ne sais quois, that makes people almost irresistibly interesting, be they physical paragons of beauty or stunningly grotesque pictures of horror. Confidence, self-assurance, capacity for assertion, being able to take charge and sway things to their favour regardless of personal competence - those are usual characteristics of the charismatic.
Mind if I paste that into the charisma part then?
