Wot, no Bargain skill? (Communication skill, base chance 5%, NOT a cult
secret so available to anybody). He didn't deserve a discount, then.
Still don't see the need for a separate characteristic: after all (to
develop an earlier argument), did Hitler get his kippers at a discount?

I misspoke a bit. What I meant was Charisma as a factor in communication
skills, in which I include bargain. I can' remember who initially proposed
it, but I like the idea of moving many of the communication skills to
CHA (or whatever we call it) and away from INT.
