Markdoc Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Re: Multimedia Examples of Stats in Action, Vol. I: COM/Striking Appearance Not sure I get your point here. COM (or Striking appearance, if you prefer) clearly affects any kind of social interaction, even something as mundane as getting a bank loan (call it a Bureaucratics roll, if you like). This point is basically beyond dispute: not just from my personal experience, but from the dozens of studies looking at the effect of height/weight/attractiveness on salaries, promotion, etc. If you are asking about how we'd translate those clips to skills, I'd say the first is COM and the second PRE. If, on the other hand, your point was just to post videos of Cameron Diaz ... well, by all means, carry on! cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes there's either a dispute about what kind of effect a stat or ability should have in a situation, and/or alternatively there's a disconnect between what a player communicates they want their PC to be capable of and what the GM hears. So this could be helpful. Also, it is a good excuse to post video of Cameron Diaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
