But can't superficial charm come in terribly useful when it comes to the stabbing moment?
Seriously TK - I am as supportive as the next person for the appropriate use of homicidal actions but the whole thing has a far classier edge if you throw in a little charm. 
True, but this whole thing was just a ridiculous argument that was never really going to go anywhere anyway.
What is the mask???? Is it the moderation of the Path traits? After all, general members of society find most Path traits either repugnant or overwhelming...
And is a trait something you can just put aside like so much rubbish?
The 'mask' is really just a different set of personality traits that are adopted for different situations. The personality traits are usually fake, such as feigning sympathy when I really couldn't give a shit.
I'm sure you know all this already.
Are you more than your traits? If you put some aside are you still a Path?
I am who I am. A 'Path', as you call it, is just a label. That label does not define me. Without it, I would still be who I am and still do what I do.
If someone suggests a meeting and you lack sufficient information to make that occur then it may be that you are best served by being a patient, superficially charming beastie - that way you can charm until you get the required intel and then .... Off you go for some weekend joy :) (insert whatever action that may be to each individual)
I'm pretty sure I know how charm works by now. I have successfully used it in the past on a number of occasions. On this forum though, with some of these people who have been on different forums with me for years, any charm I use would undoubtedly be seen as superficial.
As for Zach charming me, or anyone else here for that matter... Yeah, good luck with that, lol.
