Witches and Princesses

[Gratian]

Greetings,

Does anyone know how to get descriptions of special characters skill?

Just being curious about what could be written for a princess or witch with max charm/magic...
I have never seen any of them higher than 1-2 levels and there is something like "lacks charm of other court ladies" (for a princess with two hearts) and something like "goes nor further of displaying petty tricks" (not sure about correctness).
I just wonder if anyone had seen high level princesses/witches in the game at all? Is there any way to get a princess with high charm or they appear with random skill?

Diplomacy can improve a Princesses charm. But the downside is a single failure in diplomacy can strip them of all their diplomacy traits. Because of this it's very hard to see them with any charm at all. Even if I try my best I rarely get 3-4 charm for my princesses. And those damn annoying secret lovers...

The only high charm princesses I've seen are at the start of the game. Princesses born during the game invariably end up being totally devoid of charm. It would be nice if a patch could fix this small problem (not a bug as such.. but it could do with an improvement). This is the best charm rating I've ever seen. And as I said.. at the begining of the game.

As for witches... they're so easy to kill with a priest that they'll never last long enough to get magic levels. Even a level 1 priest seems to have a 95% chance of denoucing a witch, no matter what her level is.

I've seen better princesses (the French Princess has that level to begin with, if she then has luck with her Diplomacy and you let her engage you in diplomacy and give her exactly what she asks for you can see her hit 8 charm).

Also, it IS a bug, theirs an IAmPrincess Trait but it dosen't actually give the Princess anything so they start with almost no Charm, theirs a Natural Princess Trait that gives 1-3 charm depending on level that should defintlly be connected to the IAmPrincess Trait, plus most starting Princesses start with soom "GoodPrincess" Skill too so i'd say they should start with that, thats anything upto 7 Charm starting if the traits are arranged right and the princess gets lucky upon coming of age.

i think they should share portraits between witches and princesses. you know the princess no one wants to marry and witch thats too pretty to kill.

In my latest game as the Danes I married my King to a six charm Malinese Princess. But since she was sitting around northern Italy it was probably easy to raise the charm up, tons of chances for diplomacy there. This was well into the game as well, not a starting Princess. I actually scouted around to find a decent princess for my King, since he was lame of loin and uninhibated I figured I needed a good Princess if I was going to get heirs. Seems like a good plan, he got the he got the "Wife is Fair, Wife is Smart" traits after marring her. Which gives increased chance to have children and a bonus to tax/trade income.
