TV shows (and responses)

from PolMach Forums

Why is there a maximum charisma (or intelligence, but charisma is more relevant) for some responses?

I can see why there's a minimum, but by hiring a speech writer, you increase your charisma (which is non-zero for most candidates) by 10, which brings it to more than the maximum of 10 that dictates the availability of a specific response.

I mean, it's not like your candidate is suddenly -too- charismatic to be able to think of the response in question, are they?

It's really just for streamlinging the choices and hiding the rediculous ones for the truely inept candidates :)

Right-I'm talking about the choices that require an intelligence minimum of 5, maximum of 10, in addition to a charisma minimum of 5, maximum of 10.

Take an average candidate with 5 or 6 charisma, give him a speech writer, now he's at 15/16 charisma and is no longer in the valid range for those "balanced" choices, regardless of his intelligence.

Unless it's base charisma, but it wouldn't appear to be done that way.  At any rate, getting said issues to appear, not to mention the TV show that asks them, is worse than trying to get a specific mega event to trigger in GCII, so it's somewhat difficult to test from here.

And since I can't edit again, the question I was trying to ask is, why is there a maximum set if you already have a minimum set?
