See each NPC or social group in the game as a locked treasure box full of goodies and you are the ones with the lockpicking skills. Everyone wants to help you like they would help their own beloved mother. They just don't know it yet.Because of my social bard/rogue, I'm able to get uncooperative government officials to become valued contacts who work for us instead of against us. I am able to sell our swag and buy new stuff for great prices. I am able to get ALL of the relevant facts about a person, organization, or location. I'm able to keep thuggish toll collecters from attacking us while we pass. I am able to get information from a victim traumatized by fear. I am able to successfully counter the effects of slander and spin them back to the accuser. I can skillfully defend myself or my compaions in a court of law. I am able to enter and function in high society, and even the social circles of a foreign land. People give of themselves to me; whether their time, expertise, or resources; without realizing it or understading why.But I only made this character because I knew the DM ran a game world where CHA and social skills really matter. And it was clear when I was observing the party before I joined the game, watching them be harrased by government officials and watching them being slandered by an NPC bard, that they could seriously benefit from a very charismatic socializer. And I was right.</blockquote>
