Created an account just to display my interest in this project.
The manipulation idea is very cool, and charisma and attractiveness are already implemented - female serial killers (esp. attractive ones) could have bonus manipulation against heterosexual males... and to a lesser degree male killers on female victims.
Also let's say you knock on someone's door, they will be less suspicious (easier to manipulate) than if they are angry at you since you broke in (very hard to manipulate.) If you can somehow intimidate them and make them afraid, they might be easy to manipulate again.
Anyways, you've got to be a damned smooth salesman to persuade someone to take off the door chain AND walk into the kitchen - I don't care how many manipulation points you have.
Oh, and, harder to manipulate folks if they are "peaceful" (not angry or afraid) at night - ie people are less suspicious about opening their doors to girls selling cookies at noon than at midnight.
(Bonus manipulation points if you come across religiously susceptible folks who will listen to you wax about the good news at their door? :p )
Anyways, I don't know how open you are to us barging in and throwing at you what WE want to see in YOUR game... if you don't like this I understand completely and we can all back off.
