    Well I'm new to the forum. I made this character (half-orc) who is abominable and low charisma and downright evil (sold my soul). However, I want to be evil but want some good converstaion to get the best out of the story. which is better for this charm or purity of water. please list pros and cons of the two or suggest better way for this.

    Welcom to the forum, NecroLich! :smile:

    I'd say purity f water because that is where the reaction modifier is base. Charm affects how many followers you will have so have low charm so that you can only get 1 follower only.

    al, read my other post

    also... charm is a lvl 1 spell that gives + 30-40 reaction till its dispersed... not charisma (which you where talking about al) which affects followers

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply!
    I think I'll use the charm spell cause I'm looking for the +30-40 reaction modifier!

    i think ull get attacked for casting a charm and it wont work on techs, and it's a useless spell unless ur going to take the rest of the college.

    I believe purity of water is far better because with an intelligence of 12 you can activate 3 purity thus may gain a beaty of 20 which according to the manual will give you +100 reaction. :smile:

    forget that... just get a blessing or two. Madame Toussade and Geshtienna's Alter will both give you bonuses to your beauty.
    And if you're playing an evil half-orc, most people will despise you anyway.

    Again thanks...

    Well, then purity of water seems better (even though i'll need more intelligence), but how do you activate 3 spells? Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Just cast it 3 times if you have 8 int then you could maintain 2, if 12 then 3. The bonus stack up just like agility of fire and strength of earth.I dunno how much are the pluses but I believe it 4-5 for every spell so if you have 2, thats plus 10 to beauty..

    I use this technique before to stack up my melee since u can have at least 18 dex, but then I noticed that the points I spend also fizzled when the spell duration is finished.

    Smoking Jackets

    If you're in town, you could easily wear a smoking jacket to make people like you a bit more. At +20 to reaction, it's not too impressive, but it has made a big difference for my dwarf.

    If youll go with a smoking jacket and your a mage, you might as well use a fate point and steal Morat's Ring of Influence which gives +3 to both Charisma and Beauty. Then when you finished the Haggle Master quest and he's suppose to give you that ring right? If youve got the ring already he will not take the 10K, BUG? Happens to me all the time. :smile:
