Charisma is supposed to represent a combination of appearance, force of personality, charm, and social skill. High Charisma individuals (18+) I feel should be as impressive socially as 18+ Strength PCs at lifting massive objects.
A couple of my PCs have 18 Cha, and I tend to have NPCs generally respond very positively to them. The rogue is silver-tongued to say the least, and tends to talk his way into and out of situations. The Warlock is very rude and while NPCs start off friendly, their friendliness tends to decrease with time.
My problem is that the rogue is starting to feel not so silver-tongued as two new PCs (started 4 sessions ago) are, to put it bluntly, rude and standoffish dicks. He has been, in my opinion, friendly and welcoming and they have refused to speak with him and/or physically threatened him. But they have been nice to the low Charisma warforged who has been fairly mute.
Long story, but I guess my question is, should PCs be encouraged to respond to other PCs or NPCs in a manner consistent with their Charisma?
