Loyalty Base: This modifier is applied to henchmen’s loyalty scores (see the Dungeon Master® Guide). This modifier can be crucial during battles, where good morale is vital.
Max. # of Henchmen: This is the maximum number of permanent allies and retainers a character can attract. This does not affect the number of hirelings, mercenaries, or other servitors a character can have.
Proficiencies: This score is used as the base number for such nonweapon proficiencies as gaming and disguise.
This determines the physical presence and attractiveness of the character. A character with a high Appearance score would be handsome or beautiful, perhaps even famous for outstanding looks (such as Helen of Troy).

Reaction Adjustment: This number modifies the Reaction Roll made when a character interacts with NPCs and intelligent creatures for the first time (see the DMG). Obnoxious behavior can negate bonuses for a high Appearance score, just as solicitous manners can overcome a weakness.
Proficiencies: This score acts as the base number for proficiencies such as dancing and etiquette.
