[QUOTE="Mike Myler, post: 8073265, member: 6726030"] 12 isn't average, 10 is average. Charisma 12 is 20% more charismatic than the average person. A +7 bonus to checks made to persuade people is about twice as good as a trained diplomat who is naturally more charismatic (or more than twice as good if the diplomat is as charismatic). Also (apologies to folks that hate broken records!) but you can just drop two of his feats to pop that Charisma up to a 16, and if you like swap it with Wisdom for a score of 18! Which part of Shaka's history do you feel is really compelling for him to have more Charisma as opposed to Intelligence or Wisdom? Edit: I think it was in a notification email but aye all Mythological Figures are built on a 27-point buy ability score budget. You can walk into Adventurer's League and play as <insert MF here>, use them as pre-gens in one shots, etc. etc. because they are all built under the same design constraints. There's more info about it on the wiki: [URL="https://www.enworld.org/threads/mythological-figures.670680/"]WIKI - Mythological Figures[/URL] I think there was definitely a "mad king" episode in the end there when his mother passed away and he was like "everybody shall suffer with me!" For the most part I think he was a fair (and celebrated) ruler in his time. [/QUOTE]
