Relative Appearance
Suggested by tk421 on the rpg.net forum: Replace the rules for relative appearance (which pits Appearance vs. Appearance) with a DV modifier pitting the attacker's Appearance vs. the defender's Temperance. This avoids the somewhat odd construct that pretty people are somehow more resistant to persuasion and gives Temperance a purpose in social combat (as written, it is the only Virtue that doesn't). Plus, it just seems to fit what Temperence is supposed to represent.
