Charisma

Charisma is the only stat that doesnt have anything tied to it, except as a foundation for a few stats.

Suggestions to make it more mechanically significant ? Maybe just follow RQ2 and use it to gain a discount on learning skills and spells ?

How did that work in RQ2? (My book is buried somewhere in the garage).

It would be nice to get a little more use out of CHA...

basically at certain levels (I want to say 13 and 15 but I could be remembering it wrong) you received a 5 or 10% discount on the price you pay for learning spells, and receiving training.

Could easily make it more incremental too, though.

Hmmm... maybe a 2% reduction in cost for every point of CHA above 10?

The Glamour spell has been cut down as well, as it's use as a disguise spell has been dropped. In the old days if you changed you're APP by more than 50% you were unrecognizable, so for a character with 8 APP, only 3 points of Glamour were required for a great instant disguise. Very handy, but hardly an incentive to have a high APP, or CHA.

Yeah, that should work prettyt well.

Starting mney also used to be tied to CHA in the form or a loan that could be spent for training or magic. Something like CHAx100 Lunars, but that was with RQ2 prices. THat would have been enough to decently outfit a character and even buy a point of a spell. For MRQ maybe CHAx250 SP might give the same purchasing power. l
