Tri-Stat dX Appearance attribute By Zegon Destructacon, special thanks to Ardweden Cost: 1 point/level Relevant Stat: Body or Soul Required PMVs: None Optional PMVs: None Progression: Linear; -1 social-related/level Reduction: None Restrictions: None Appearance refers to physical beauty as well as pleasurable mannerisms and an almost supernatural attractiveness or personable powers at later levels. Normal physical attractiveness can be acquired by this attribute as well. The absolute maximum of human appearance is equal to X. Higher levels of appearance are possible, but very rare and definitely inhuman. Intersperse these levels evenly among the varying points of the X scale. The level for each point of achievement is given, as well as its BESM equivalent. Furthermore, every level gives a -1 bonus to both seduction and other social- related rolls to those who find their appearance attractive. Appearance is in relation to the rest of the game in general, not just with your race. Of course, with humans only, this doesn't make that big of a deal. But when races and universes collide, appearance can get very skewed. 0 = BESM Levels 0-2. It's the girl next door! This character's plain to reasonably good-looking. You know how many 'kind of' pretty people there are out there? A lot. You don't see *them* starving for dates, do you? If they are, it's likely for other reasons (personality, luck, and yadda). If you dress this person up, yeah, they'll look good. Better. Whatever. Makes sense. X/4 = BESM Level 3. Okay, yeah, you spent CP on it. You're attractive. No arguing. You can probably work to make yourself unattractive, but in general, nothing you can do will hide it, so give up now. X/2 = BESM Level 4. Definitely the hottest/cutest person in your school. If you're not considering modeling, you either are or will be, or have something against it in the first place. 3X/4 = BESM Level 5. THEY WANT YOUR BODY! Anyways, you're up there. Way up there. You've got the body other people would kill for (as if 1-2 weren't bad enough). People fall over each other for you. Or they would, if they weren't so intimidated by the fact that you're hot and they're not. X = BESM Level 6. UNPARALLELED BEAUTY! In caps, even. It's painful to even look at you, and once they do, they can't turn away. If they're interested, they want to sleep with you. If they're not, you know they must be jealous. You're the creamier than the cream of the crop, the top of the top.
