[QUOTE="Roland Delacroix, post: 99106, member: 1753"] I had a player two days ago who wanted to play a 4 Charisma 1/2 orc. I talked him out of it since IMO thats unplayable. The majority here seems to think low charisma equates to not being noticed, but i think its just the opposite. The low charisma guy is VERY noticed, just as a jerk that everyone hates. He laughs a loud braying laugh in the middle of the joke. He smells, bad. He has NO fasion sense, his day-glo orange armor twists your eyes. Everything he says will be automatically discounted, not because its stupid but because everyone assumes anything that ass says is stupid. Bad guys will take him out first everytime, they may hold a professional distaste for heroes but that one guy just ANNOYS the HECK out of them. Something about him just sets a persons teeth on edge. The only think anyone should ever say to him is "Excuse me, won't you?" unless they just sneer at him before walking away. Not be noticed? Preposterous, he has a -5 to disguise. You see his keel-sized nose before you see him. He wears trademark plaid suspenders over his plate mail. Hmm, think Steve Martin in 'The Jerk'. Yes people will be talking about him, but more along the lines of: "Thank Pelor I got away from that guy" "Who?" "That annoying guy, the one with the chain pants 4 inches to short, whats-is-name" "Oh him, yes by the gods he irritates me. I don't see how he was even invited. What kind of adventurers bring someone like that with anyway?" "Obviouslly desperate losers. Have you seen the Knight of Heioneous' new armor? Now THERES a true adventurer..." ETC [/QUOTE]
