Liking the Illusion angle.

Yeah, having the glow effect be illusion-based is better than what I was thinking.
How powerful would having no charisma score (incapable of emotion) and having everything that runs off of charisma run off of intelligence instead (using logic instead of emotion) be?
Very powerful, imo. Intelligence is already a very powerful stat, ergo I feel anything that boosts it is unnecessary. Have you considered just giving them a CHA penalty and if they want to use logic in social situations they can do it one of the standard ways (Orator or Student of Philosophy or whatever).
There is in fact already a race with no emotions (android) and they don't automatically get to use INT for CHA based stuff. They have no emotions, so logically they should (by default, at least) be bad at CHA based stuff.
Ok, not doing that racial trait. How about an alternate racial trait that makes their ability score quality Human Heritage with an additional +2 intelligence and -4 charisma, and maybe add some other parts to it?
Bump.
Any opinions?
