Charisma of 1

[Miqaxd]

Last night, my Dwarven monk contracted Mummy Rot, and now has a charisma of 1. How would you recommend playing a character with a charisma that low?

Your characters mind and soul are about as firm and enduring as tissue paper. Trying to communicate with other people is as exhausting as trying to shout through a foot of concrete. Most of the time, it's so hard that you don't even try. Looking someone in the eye is a massive effort - it's easiest to interact with people if you just try to think of them as objects, instead of people.

You at least think that you are so physically and mentally repulsive that you act rude and obnoxious to others because you don't want them to get close to you because you are convinced that they will eventually do the same to you. Or worse, pity you.

Well, Mummy Rot, have to say appearance is going to be cheesy, moldy, and would also go open sores and running ooze. Then there would be the smell, rotting flesh, then the flys, lots of flys, it would be bad.

As a DM there is no way I would even let a PC with a Cha 1 exist ergo If I were DM I'd declare the character an NPC and sit it in the corner as a festering heap of rot with practically no sense of being until it rots away and becomes a true object (cha 0)

IMHO their is no way for a cha 1 creature to even attempt to communicate, you can't be obnoxius because that implies personality and you don't have one, you are virtually a rock that people notice because occasionally it quivers - and the smell is repulsive

Your the leper that is ignored in the street, etc.

I think "leper" is probably the image to shoot for. As far as the world is concerned, you are no longer a person. You are merely a risk to the public health.

Well, as you're one whole point of charisma away from being in a coma, I suggest not being able to talk in anything other than a mumble (half of the time not actually using words, just things that sort of -sound- like words), staring off into space blankly, repeating yourself alot (again, don't forget to mumble only), and rocking back and forth.

Edit: Oh, and never look directly at anyone. Always look off to the side, down at the floor, or off into the sky. And again, with the thousand-yard stare.

A cross between Senor Cardgage and an autistic, basically.

Goodness gracious, please get an item of +2 Cha or something.

You're going to find a creature that does Cha damage and you'll die.

0 Charisma means unconsciousness, not death.

Though, considering this dwarf monk is still infected with mummy rot (though the curse has been broken) , *and* he's infected with another Con-damaging disease, I think just falling unconscious would be a blessing right now.
