help figuring out this point total
Wylie
horribly disfigured (+16 to -16). She was able to get a witch to
restore her beauty, but the witch was jealous and put a condition on
the spell that it would last only as long as she didn't kiss her one
true love (who happens to be another character). Not that up on 4e
modifiers so I could use some help quantifying this.

It's a limiting condition that will undo the entire advantage, IIRC. As
to how big a limitation that is, how easy or difficult is it to avoid
the triggering condition? (Since this involves two PCs, there isn't any
handy chart in the books to help...)

That's either a quirk or a -5 point Destiny

Actually, thinking about it, there's no need to quantify it. She
never got the points for being disfigured, right? So mechanically,
she's been returned to normal, with the potential for things to go bad
for her later. No point value.

Shouldn't it at least get something along a vow? "Never Kiss your
true love (who is almost always present)" Sort of a reverse frog
princess situation.
Something to offset the whopping -32 point shift she may get later
down the line. I thought this was a brilliant roleplaying idea (not
munchkinning points) so it should be rewarded in some way.

Effectively, you've got Very Beautiful with an Accessibility
limitation - probably just -10%, really, because while this would
really, really suck in real life, it isn't much of a problem in game
terms - and Hideous with a Mitigator, probably -80% for reasons as
above.
Which suggests that your 16 point advantage has turned into a net 15
point advantage and a net -3 point limitation.

Is this a starting character or did these events happen in play?

Starting out. In gameplay I probably wouldn't have worried about
point totals (I'm a bad gm, I know).
