		== Scope ==
		Using EQ Traders as the only reliable source of EQ vendor pricing, we can assume the following:

		* Charisma has meaningful breakpoints, especially between ~61–76 and ~100+, after which additional CHA has diminishing or no effect.
		* Faction breaks into three functional tiers for pricing:
		# Apprehensive, Indifferent or better, and Dubious or worse. (Indifferent-or-better vendors give identical prices for the same charisma—Ally does not improve prices beyond Indifferent.)
		# Dubious-or-worse vendors won’t sell to you at all.
		# Apprehensive vendors will sell, but prices are significantly worse unless charisma is very high.

		These two facts define the scope of our current testing: you only need to test Apprehensive and Indifferent factions across a range of charisma values.

		== Control Variables ==

		'''Vendor''': Use one vendor for the entire test.

		'''Item''': Use one item with a stable base price (e.g., Water Flask, Bandage, Torch).

		'''Faction level''': You must be able to reliably set your faction to:

		* Apprehensive
		* Indifferent
		* (Optional) Amiable / Kindly / Warmly / Ally — but these will all give identical prices.

		'''Charisma value''': You need a reproducible way to set CHA to specific values (e.g., 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200).
