Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week (#22): Charisma, Reputation
My current character has three levels of Charisma (the campaign cap, essentially), and I consider it a good deal. Not overpowered, thanks to the need of having two two-way communication channels, even though it is reasonably easy to organise two-way audio-video in 2100, it's just that not everyone does. Appearance is competitive, and arguably better in some campaigns.
I'm looking forward to playing with a bunch of Reputations (good and bad) in the next campaign. I'm still unsure whether being easily recognizable is good or bad, but the Reaction Modifier of Reputation seems slightly over-expensive compared to Charisma or Appearance or Voice; the good point about it is that it keeps working all the time if it is recognised.
