[QUOTE="Corinth, post: 79692, member: 497"] Charisma isn't a front-line attribute in the default gameplay method, but it isn't that bad. I would define it as a good support or second-line attribute. As pointed out previously, Charisma opens the door to overcoming challenges in a manner other than bloodshed or the use of magic. This is the key to making full use of the Bard class, and the social skills. Diplomacy, overall, is a great social skill for it is the skill used to influence people and command their attention. Generals use it to order their troops, inspire them before a battle and congratulate/console them afterwards. Ambassadors use it to lend gravity to their speech, compelling others to heed them. Sovereigns use it for all of these things, while lesser nobles and other authority figures do the same on a lesser scale. In its place, it is a resource that should not be ignored; one can use force to solve any problem, but it is not the best way to solve all problems. This is truth behind my first post to this thread; kill-crazy PCs with :):):):)ty CHA scores know that they can use force to solve any problem, while DMs realize that force isn't the best way to do so for all problems. If DMs were to explain this truth, then the problems of social retards with the Olympic-level bodies will diminish fast. [/QUOTE]
