This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Do you prefer Appearance or Charisma stats? Or both?

If that was meant for me, I'll point out that I was arguing against including Con in the Charisma calculation.

Charisma as it is broader so can represent many factors. For a game with skills it can also be a modifier.

A high Charisma character lacking supporting skills has something, good looks, says the right thing to make a good first impression etc but over the long haul will come up short. Charisma gets you in the door, but good leadership, oratory, seduction skills etc is what keeps people coming back for more.
 

In a game without a skill system it can still be used the same way through character background / role playing.
