Default Re: Roleplaying Charisma

Heh, good luck twisting the arm of the editors from WOTC with that one Denizen.

Anyway Charisma will always be one of those attributes that raises many arguments extracting everyones expert opinions. Fact is no one will ever seem to agree with a generic ruleset for the stat so I'm with Orth using your Dicebag wherever possible. We've got one so lets use it.

We can all spend infinite hours discussing flaws with the DnD system. Acutally in my opinion I think its riddled with them. But where will it ever stop? We simply need to enjoy what we've got, and make sure its used fairly in the world of RP.

So whilst i agree with many people's opinion, i believe Charisam is both Influence and Presence. You can have more of one, or the other, even both. Its an important stat for gameplay and I'd like to see it used effectively.

Cheers,
