Create GNDT columns entitled ‘Looks’, ‘Talent’ and ‘Presence’.
Create a dynastic rule entitled “We’ve all got Presence”, with the following text:
Actors have three attributes (which take all rational values) and are as follows:
Looks This attribute encasulates how much the public enjoys looking at an Actor.
Talent This attribute encapsulates how good an Actor is at, well, acting.
Presence This atribute reflects the amount of “Presence” an Actor has on-screen.These values are tracked in the GNDT, and 0 is an average score for all people. All actors start with 0.1 Presence. Within 24 hours of entering the game, or within 24 hours of enacting this rule, whichever comes later, any actor may opt to set eir Looks and Talent to any values for which Looks squared plus Talent squared is 1 or less.
The last dynasty also had multiple numerical scores, I think we should have something different for this one.

I might vote for this if I understood it. Can you offer a slightly more straightforward explanation of the last line, for someone who never quite mastered polynomial equations?
