Low charisma shouldn't really affect your general talking, although it could be played that way, and it should certainly affect other people's inclinations to listen to you.  I suggest you mutter under your breath, say things without letting people hear you (you know it's pointless anyhow).  In fact, you could say anything, people will ignore you. You could be very threatening, people wouldn't care, you could be "nice and charming", your effors would go unnoticed. Frank's comment that you'd be actively odious... that's a possibility.  But having an animal's general aura is also very likely .. Many animals have a charisma around that level, I believe.</blockquote>
