[Rq-rules] Re: Farewell to CON and thoughts on APP

[Lev Lafayette]

The question being... how important is APP to your
game?

I mean we could have a table to roll hair colour and
eye colour or whether. Heck IIRC Harnmaster actually
did have such things. But unless having blue eyes or
brown eyes is going to make a substantial difference
in play, it's best left out as mere colour.

I feel the same way about APPearance. Now I know it's
very important to teenaged gamers (bless their socks)
who evaluate the latest *player* to their orientation
according to a perceived value, but what does it do in
game terms? We could conduct a survery of 1000 to get
a rule of thumb, but for what purpopse?

Perhaps APPearance makes a difference in short-term,
immediate reactions, but they're usually things which
can be described by description rather than numbers.
Let's face every almost every 18 year old on the
planet could be a model. As the saying goes, "Even a
goblin is beautiful at 18".

Overall reactions are more determined by strength of
personality, oratory, and even reputation. The sort of
things which seem to suggest POW...

All the best,


Lev
