If your charisma is low, it is presumed that you act so weak and pathetic as to be dismissed and disregarded. The questions you would ask under the Acceptance skill assume that you aggrandize yourself to get the knowledge you seek with subtlety and groveling, not through being likeable.<br /><br />I intend to expand the guile skill to stress social invisibility and a sense that you're trustworthy because you're too frightened/weak/dependent to be a threat, not because of charismatic manipulation. Even the ugliest person can manage that, even use their ugliness to enhance it.

I was simply trying to assign CLO values for items in your tailoring section that lacked an obvious entry in the CLO table - the rightmost two columns contain the relevant information to be used.

All I need for a different piece of clothing is the amount of material and the type of material.<br /><br />We need to keep CLO simple; a lot of finicky measurements for what is protected and what isn't will slow people down, and I'm already insisting on encumbrance for that.
