[QUOTE="Technik4, post: 2178262, member: 7211"] You didn't address any of my concerns from an earlier post. If a party has a leader/negotiator/charisma guy to do all their social interaction on a town/job basis, then the only way to 'harry' a character with low charisma is to make life difficult for him in town or random encounters (by making him get picked on? Heck, most of the time its barbarians, fighters - who would love to get picked on). I mean, my game is not an always-win situation. I tend to run tough combats and my players are perhaps not as skilled at maneuvering as I am, which means I have to tone that down in combat. Out of combat, I don't feel I'm doing anyone a diservice by not roleplaying every upturned nose towards the slightly-below-average charisma possesor. I would rather concentrate on someone's high ability score getting noticed, like the one person who does have high charisma. If they attempt diplomacy, bluffing, etc then yeah they get the associated negatives. My complaint is that the system doesn't have nearly enough of those scenarios for charisma to really have an impact (again, assuming a Party leader/negotiator - and honestly, its not like having one of those doesn't make sense).
