Well, I guess that makes sense, doesn't it? Like a Cleric having an 18 Wisdom, or a Rogue having an 18 Dex?Could the player pull off role-playing that kind of Charisma? I'll agree that role-playing of the mental attributes (Int/Wis/Cha) is much harder than the physicial attributes, because they show up more in the way one talks, plans and inter-reacts. For Charisma I think there is partly an onus on the DM and other players to *react* to the player in an appropriate way. One gamer in my group has a high Cha character and although the player is not particularly charismatic, my PC tends to look at his PC's plans and comments in the most favourable light.Of course, a lot has to depend upon the use of skill checks which allow those attributes to shine through, of course.I'd say - give the player a chance. He might have fun trying, having an 18 Cha character around will keep him, you and your other players on their toes.Cheers</blockquote>
