Some feel that there should be a charisma penalty imposed to a pregnant character. Supposedly, pregnant women find themselves fat, ugly, and undesirable. Thus, they don’t give of an aura of coolness, magnetism, leadership, and determination. Not to many will follow a moody, weak woman. This “ugly” state would also be reflected in comeliness.

Others feel that a pregnant character should get a bonus to charisma. Supposedly, pregnant women “glow with motherhood”. Being pregnant is the essence of womanhood and many males find this attractive. In fact, a pregnant woman can get people to wait on her beckon call because she seems so helpless. This “natural beauty” can be reflected in comeliness.

Given these completely different views. A DM should make charisma adjustments based on the individual views of those that the pregnant character meets. Thus, one NPC may find her attractive and thus she gains a bonus to comeliness and charisma. On the other hand, an NPC can find her repulsive and thus she suffers a penalty to comeliness and charisma.
