Re: Resistance to Sex Appeal
I really like the scaled bonuses. I think it reflects dating reality much better.
I wonder if High Standards would be a good quirk, or just a roleplaying option. Having High Standards under this the scaled bonuses already is a disadvantage, so I can't see a greater negative impact. Wouldn't the ability to sometimes be affected by appearance modifiers be a perk. Like controllable Lecherousness?

Re: Resistance to Sex Appeal
The player knew what was going on, the PC failed to resist.

Re: Resistance to Sex Appeal
What if you wanted Immunity to "All Influence skills even from people with empathy"? Would it not be better to set that to Very Common? And then scale down fron there?

Re: Resistance to Sex Appeal
That would be Cosmic Indomitable (overcome with Cosmic Empathy). After that, you just add Cosmic Tiers.

Re: Resistance to Sex Appeal
You add Cosmic to your Indomitable, and now you are immune to Influence from people with Empathy.

Re: Resistance to Sex Appeal
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but I sometimes let characters resist with their own level in a skill. It's been a good way to represent grifters knowing all the tricks of the trade and thus being hard to deceive. Extending it to Sex Appeal makes sense so the suave spy is harder to distract with a pretty girl/guy.

Re: Resistance to Sex Appeal
Rule that indomitable is not beaten by empathy and see everybody and their Nana scramble to take it. i think it's a heck of a deal at 15 points, if you add cosmic and rule it beats all empathy, I snap it up post-haste.

Re: Resistance to Sex Appeal
Well, if you're so indomitable that even the Goddess Of Sex Appeal can't affect you with her Cosmic Empathy, then you're obviously the God Of Double Indomitability, so you should have Indomitable (+100% Cosmic II).
