Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Sex Appeal
I always have at least one PC in games I run that have Sex Appeal. Sometimes more. Sometimes you want to use flirtation to get things.

Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Sex Appeal
In my alternate history campaign, set in a world where China ruled the majority of the Earth's land masses as a result of Cheng Ho's naval expeditions being better funded, I had a scene where an NPC with a complicated history that had resulted in her working as an agent of the Eyes of Heaven attempted Sex Appeal against one of the PCs. I rolled the dice and got an 18. So I told the PCs that she was approaching him in a provocative manner, but with a look of terror. This led to a very interesting relationship.

Dexterity is the basis for Erotic Art, and mostly rightly so, though there are uses of Erotic Art that float better to Perception, I think.

IQ 8's default level of Merchant coupled with lack of cultural familiarity would mean he basically lost before she winked at him anyway. He was the second-worst party member we could have left alone to mind the store.

However it does illustrate quite how useful sex appeal can be. As long as your players are comfortable with it can see quite a lot of millage in many campaigns. It has certainly seen a lot of use in the groups I have spent the most time with. This is partially a gamist thing a number of more rules focused players have made a big thing of the high default and the connection to a cheap physical attribute but there is also the sheer number of character types it fits from waitresses and bar flies to cinematic spies. I agree it probably helps that a lot of these have been mixed groups with a strong separation between player and character. |

Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Sex Appeal
Both of those are true of my player groups also. In fact my players are known to exclaim "metagaming!" when someone firewalls insufficiently.
