So it is good for most of the continuum except for when phone conversations are prevalent? (Assuming you do not text important people when reaction bonus matters.) Even then the benefits you get over universal reputation still make it undercosted. |

Diplomacy, Fast-Talk, Mimicry, Per- formance, Politics, Public Speaking, Sex Appeal, and Singing and get +2 on any reaction roll made by someone who can hear your voice. (No double-dipping, but plenty of cases where a Reaction Modifier is useful without a direct use of the above skills). The skill list seems bigger and more varied, with things like Performance, Politics, Singing and Mimicry. |

Letters should only involve writing skill anyway. It's a purely learned form of communication so instinctive advantages like Charisma shouldn't apply, in my view.

Letters don't get the Charisma bonus, indeed. Though the Writing skill should still go as a Complementary Skill only. Otherwise you get into the weird situation that Writing includes the knowledge included in all Influence skills for free, but can't be used in real time, which will have weird results down the road. |

Here's the advantage in action: http://youtu.be/-IhxCBBqUNA To me, "extreme quality" isn't necessary. It's a combination of voice, intonation, and choice of words. Orson Welles on even a cheap crystal set was still more than adequate for him to get his +2. |
