Succinct and to the point. And it brings up a valid response. If Sex Appeal can be resited for 0 points, then so can any influence skill. And if thats' the case, what is the point of them (as Icelander pointed out) or (Indomitable).

I could see a Resistant to Influence trait. costing 5 points for +3 and 8 points for +8, that is basically a scaled down Indomitable, and is likewise requires Empathy to crack.
