Heres an idea to help stop chrisma being the unused attribute, you could
have charisma affect the number of contacts a begining character is able to
take. eg char 1-2 one contact, chr 3-4 two contacts, char 5-6 three contacts.
you could also have charisma effect the cost of buying additional contacts,
buddies and the like.
something like a said cost divided by charisma....
