I don't like classes... All men are created equal... ;)

Where in the skill code do you need charisma?

Hmmm... I wouldn't do  that, most of  the problem is already solved by
the   bargaining  skill.  It  is    now  easy   to  get  to   Charisma
30. Hmmm... When  rethinking that, I think  that the price differences
between low and high charisma are ok for me, but the differences could
be spread more linear.

Hmmm... I think it might be better if they could just be cast only
once.
