Really, I think this algebraic calculation could be VERY good if applied to not only relationship circumstances, but mental health circumstances. More importantly, This would make someone disliked even further screwed by being disfigured, making their enemy even less likely to warm up to them. This would mean that, very shallow lovers might be broken up by it, BUT, those with an extremely strong bond might get a relationship BOOST from it, IF they were already very close. Just an idea on structure : give it an effect of -15 +20% of current relationship stat. And might actually be a very good mechanic for thougts in general, some 'flat' thoughts, and others which are exponentially effective either way, like disfigured has minimal effects on friends, more effects on strangers, and effects lovers heavily. I think giving disfigured a percentage based thing rather than a FLAT thing would be a good idea.
