Page 37	second column, Variable Charisma	The printed rule means a low charisma character has little or no chance of advancement, and a high charisma character cannot stop getting higher. When success is achieved, roll 2D. If the result is greater than the character’s charisma, or a natural result of 12 without DMs, the charisma should be increased by one. A cumulative DM of −1 is applied for each charisma increase the character has earned previously. When failure occurs, roll 2D. If the result is less than or equal to the character’s charisma, one level is lost. A cumulative DM of +1 is applied for each attempt made in which charisma increase did not occur previously.
