IQ 8 "ninja" whose player took Impulsive and Overconfidence among other traits, then bought Common Sense only to ignore it every time it went off (the GM even waiving the IQ rolls just to give the guy more of a chance). This player's first proposal was to play El Kabong, GM said that talking horse wasn't an available race so he settled for this.

At this sort of level sex appeal appears to offer a lot for very little, HT 13 gets you a default level of 10 even before you drop any points in it. With my players this means it tends to be a social skill for non-social characters. |

Fatigue takes up 3 points per level, BS takes up another 5, leaving 2 per level for HT!

So at a certain point you're better off buying whichever of those you expect to use.

Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Sex Appeal
If you're going up against someone with Will 10 (the average value), you have a nearly 50% change of winning the Influence roll. That gives you a Very Good reaction in this case. You have less than a 5% chance of that on a straight reaction roll. Unless you have a very good reaction bonus, say +5 or above (since you have a chance of an Excellent reaction, which is even better than winning the Influence roll!), your chance of a really favorable reaction is a lot better with the Influence roll. (Of course losing the Influence roll will usually be worse.)
