Of course, that is the way I used to go about things. However, in one particular D&D game our DM made attractiveness a point value, that's when I noticed something. Everyone (literally) chose high values, or maxed, these values.
This made me realize that this could be worked to my advantage. So that is how our game began, 4 very beautiful elves and men and women and one, short, ugly, rat-haired priest who had the patience of a cheetah on BANG energy drinks.
Sometimes being the one who stands out requires you to stand out just a bit less then everyone else.
