Me and some others have been talking about Charisma's effect on Qi. Seeing how Charisma dictates how powerfu your Qi is, its battle value could be if your Qi's clash, like for instense lets take somethings that dont exist here that I know of.
Physical Qi Shield
VS
Physical Qi Sword
Shield: 25 Charisma
Sword: 20 Charisma
The sword can not break through the shield. because the shield is stronger. The levels dont matter because the levels only dictate the level of strength that it has to modify your statistics and such. Or maybe how big the shield is, or how big the sword is. Or even amount of time they can be generated.
Shield: 20
Sword: 25
The sword can break through the shield, just difficult, but it can be done.
Discuss? Did people already think about it this way, or whats goin on?

Ehm... I'm already creating similar shit, to work with my Qi System, and my Skill Tree... O.o
Though, my math for that will be a biiiiiit different.

Example:
--------------------------------
Protective Barrier:
Description: Creates an energy wall in front of the caster. The Barrier uses 3 Orbs, and can hold up to a maximum of 3 enemy strikes. The barrier is destroyed in one strike if the enemy's STR doubles the caster's Defensive value. However, even if it's destroyed on one blow, it still blocks that same attack.
Defensive Value: 150% CON + 100% CHA
In order to break on one blow: Enemy's STR = ((150%CON+100%CHA)x2)
- Barrier can be undone at any time, if the caster decides so.
- Caster can turn around while casting, but moving away from the same place isn't allowed.
- Arms are used to hold the barrier, so they can't be used, either.
------------------------------
Hmm... I think that would work. I was expecting to get that on my Skill Tree, once I had my Qi working IC. It's be one of my first techniques to learn.

I've explained this before didn't I? Charisma is basically how strong your "Aura" is, how powerful you pull yourself off towards others. I don't think a 5 point difference would be enough to break through completely though, maybe a 8 point difference. 5 points is significant, but it would probably take only 50% damage. Well, with regards to that sword/shield thing. First we'll have to consider any elemental affiliations, if both are of the same or are elements that don't clash we put in CHA to use. Well, or at least that's how I pull it off.  -runs- ---tte ba yoooo~ |

I was actually going to post something similar to what emily said earlier. It seemed the model you threw up there was heavily biased towards defense, which seemsa little unfair. I was having trouble wording what I wanted to say, but she got it perfectly.

I know. XD Like I said, it's only something to consider. If it is an non-elemental Qi for both parties, then you'll have to compare CHA.  One thing I dunno how to explain, would be non-elemental VS Elemental Qi. Which would be more powerful? Hnn... |

Hmm... Seems like Emily forgot something, on the example she linked...
... RP Skill.
Yup, it's not just about how strong you are. It's a matter of knowing what to do OOC.
And the example I gave, yeah, could be a bit biased... however, spending 3 of my Satelite orbs, and loding my movement capability (except for turning around)... Trust me, 3 orbs is a nuisance. Not so much when I get my Level 3 Qi, since I can summon them all at once, but DAMN, even then, I'll need a fair chance to summon them again, since i can't do it while attacking, nor defending. And no, dodging doesn't cut it, either.

If Fontes is within Mathews Qi range, tehn depending on if Fontes Cha, or Aura is stronger than Mathews, then his Orbs are fine. But if it is how it is now, then... "The Balls are inert." |

Hmm... Still, let's use common sense. Let's assume Mathew has 50 CHA, and I have 45. (EXAMPLE!!!)
There's a diference, yeah, but not THAT much of a diference. So, on these cases, I could still be able to summon orbs, but on a lower Ki level.
Other example... I cast the barrier BEFORE Mathew gets close to me (his Ki range)... My barrier would stay, right?

no, because of common sense it would dissolve the moment is aura would touch it because of its considerably weaker power if we go by absolute value, if we were to take it less absolute, then perhaps your barrier would become weak, but I doubt you can use your shield to defend against something that isn't for all intense and purpose physical.

Then, most probably the barrier would dissipate on first strike, instead of withstanding 5 blows, no?

Pretty much.
I mean if you want to integrate cha into Qi strength, it would unfortunately take some annoying ass need to memorize equation. That is to much work, otherwise it would be forcefully absolute and that would mean even 1 point would be a massive boon to guy with it.
