    Default Boobie power! or charisma bonus to bra size conversions

    I hit upon the silly idea this morning that a (female humanoid) character’s charisma bonus is roughly equal to the size of her breasts. The more I thought about this ridiculous notion the more I realized this makes a certain amount of sense. Its particularly true when you consider fantasy art. I understand that charisma is supposed to be more force of personality than comeliness, but many guys (not all of us mind you, but many of us), tend to notice women with big boobs more readily than women without big boobs. case in point

    So here is my charisma to cup size conversion chart. Keep in mind that this is done as a bit of fun and really isn’t meant to be serious or offensive at all. I’m keeping this as PG as possible for obvious reasons. Keep in mind this is also pretty basic, as I’m relying heavily on wikipedia for the brassier measurements (US measurements, so you might have to do some converting). Yes I realize that wikipedia is not the most accurate source of information, but it’ll work.

    Charisma to cup size conversion
    {table=head] Cha bonus| Cup size

    +0|
    AA

    +1|
    A

    +2|
    B

    +3|
    C

    +4|
    D

    +5|
    DD

    +6|
    F or DDD

    +7|
    G or DDDD

    +8|
    H

    +9|
    I

    +10|
    J

    +11|
    K

    +12|
    L

    +13|
    M

    +14|
    N
    [/table]


    So that’s the quick and dirty (har har), chart. Notice I got down to +14, which is a charisma score of 38-39, which is pretty high up there. But if that’s not enough for some reason, then well you can either extrapolate further or just take into account the character’s force of personality. Anyway in making this chart I learned that there are cup sizes greater than G out there, I’m not sure whether to be amazed or disturbed by that notion.

    I also notice that this matches up really well. notice that a character with a D cup has a charisma modifier of +4 (18-19). a charisma bonus of +4 gives you access to max level spells, which is a high enough score for most games.

    I've found this works just as well when applied to the male reproductive organ.

    I'd say that the bonus should become a penalty once the size of the breasts exceeds the size of the woman. They would also have a hefty penalty to any sort of acrobatic maneuvers.

    They would grant DR to all frontal attacks also, since those would put a fleshy barrier between the vital organs and the enemies... a sexy, fleshy barrier.

    I no longer actively read the forums, and probably won't respond to any PMs. I'm fine with people using my homebrew in anything, including fan-compilations and wikis, as long as you credit me.

    Yes, I know. I actually had a DM who decided worked breast size this way for a femal player... I thought it was irritating.

    But this has reached a point of sillyness no one thought of before, therefore, I will have fun with this thread a long as it lasts.

    I did do this in sort of a silly and joking manner. I would never hold my players to this. So there’s no need to invoke FATAL here. It looks like Coplantor's got the right idea.

    This has gotta be violating the forum rules in at least two or three places...

    Ah well. *makes popcorn*.

    (Personally, I'm agreeing that beyond a certain point, the 'bonuses' should instead be penalties).

    Maybe you should make it more fractional, so that sorceresses don't need their familiar to go around with a wagon for them?

    Also, what happens to women with charisma penalties?

    Still, if you are exceeding F it starts to look rather disgusting...

    Of course, that again fits the "it's not beauty but force of personality" approach...

    Hold on a second there. After about DDDD, it just starts getting silly, and only effective for a subset of fetishists. I'd suggest that after +7 you'd need to start going to multiple pairs for it to make sense.

    I just recently heard of a woman in peru that had size N. Her breasts where so big, she couldn't even get out of bed.

    To clarify this, she had a condition where her breasts just kept growing. So no surgery or something.

    So yeah. Making it about the size of the knockers doesn't really work too well. Not if you're serious. Works fine for fun tho. ^^

    Well sorry I didn't make you laugh, I guess I can't please everyone. I'm a rather straight forward guy, my posts tend to reflect that i guess.
