Girls and charisma

[Fictionaut]

The women in my group seem to maximize Charisma whenever feasible, as well as Dexterity, although the latter is because they admittedly prefer finesse fighters. But we have a male player who is even more Charisma-centric, so it may just be coincidence.

I've noticed that too of the three girls I game with usually play high charisma rogues or bards, or at worst, sorcerers.

The third one usually plays a cleric unknowingly modeled on Piffany from Nodwick, but less aware.

Funny, I always thought it was Intelligence and Wisdom that wer "THE" stats in real life. After all, they get you money, and money has its own charisma that comes with it

i judge what i see, we elct the most charismatic leader over the smarter one usually, the charismatic guy is ceo, the charismatic player gets the endorsement, society worships the celebrities...

intelligence is important to the intelligent and those in need, charisma is imporatnt to everyone

My girlfriend put her high stat into CHA, but only becuase she's playing a Sorcerer.

*shrug*

Ooops.

Fighter-cleric, thief-cleric, rogue-ranger, sorceror-paladin. And a rogue-fighter headed for duelist. And a druid lookin' for some barbarian levels. But the last two are the guys.

Ok I gotta know - why are some listed here as 'thieves' and others as 'rogues'. Is this some subliminal thing your pulling on us or what?

---. It depends on the character concept-- I had this Torg priest-gunslinger once...)

Torg rocks.

I hadn't noticed it, but my wife does seem to put fairly high scores into Charisma, even when playing fighters, but then again, she seems to roll all her scores very high. Her current character is an Order of the Bow Initiate: 2 18's, 2 16's (one is Cha), and a 13 and 12 on 4d6 drop the lowest. Everyone thinks I let her cheat, but I don't...sigh. All new PC's are on a point buy.

A female friend of mine put Str and Con as her highest starting out. She is now working on getting her Wis up because she is a Ranger/Cleric/Hunter of the Dead.

Before taking the Cleric levels she was the best fighter type we had in the party. Now she is trying to expand her character more and adding the Cleric. So from now on she tries casting spells instead of getting in there and fighting.

that's more female gamers in one campaign than i have met in my life!!!!

I can honestly say I only ever knew one girl-gamer. I feel that I'm missing out on some really important stuff in my little world of male-dominated geek.

Thing is, I'm sure any girls that I say "hey, wanna go kill a dragon?" to will turn round and just assault me.

I guess it doesn't help being in university at the moment and everyone around me wants to be cool, and maybe it'll be easier to balance up the sexes when I'm older, but then again...

Ack. Whats the best way to get a girl to game? (dear me, that sounds unfathomably desperate)

Because my rogue isn't a thief. But the servant of Tymora IS. And the fighter is a wannabe duelist and a noble; he also lacks the 'thief' skills, but has social skills and tumble and stuff. My rogue has SOME but mostly she has... business skills, I guess. /Shady/ business, but still business.
