Hello all,
We have just started the WLD and so far the game play has been great - very tongue-in-cheek and fun (think Order of the Stick fun). However, I have the problem in the title. When I rolled up my character's stats, most were average to a little above average (higest was 15) with one exception - a lousy 6. Based on the character class and concept and the make-up of the party, I came to the decision that the 6 would have to go into charisma. This is not something I usually do, as I usually play characters with lots of ranks in charisma-based skills or requiring a high charisma score to cast spells.
To complicate matters more, there is a half-orc barbarian in the party with a charisma score of....4. He is smelly, dirty, one-eyed and wrapped in barbed wire (don't ask).
So give me some suggestions for playing a character who has more charisma than a one-eyed half-orc barbarian wrapped in barbed wire, but less charisma than a triceratops. In case your wondering, the character is a male human soulknife (1st level) with his highest stats in physical attributes and average intelligence and wisdom (don't have his sheet handy to say exactly). Edit - forgot to add, he is currently suffering from amnesia, partly brought by being hunted by ....something....into the WLD. The WLD is set in the Dreamlands and so he may be from some other world (if he could remember). He's a generally a kind guy, though he he's not above bending or ignoring rules (NG) when the situation calls for it. We're only about 1 session in, so that's all I really have.
