[QUOTE="DrNilesCrane, post: 1773496, member: 7652"] Just my thoughts: ignore if they offend. Docking your character's CHA is a bad call on the DM's part. If you're unhappy with the situation and the group (presumably they are your friends) is unhappy with it, why take this to the extreme (i.e. "try to fit that mold")? It seems like just adding fuel to the fire rather than trying to improve the gaming experience for yourself and your friends. I don't agree that a high Charisma score is a free pass for a player to portray an annoying (or worse) character and expect the rest of the party to grin and bear it because of what's rolled on the character sheet. There might be *some* validity to that for the characters although that situation would be short lived (i.e. a high Charisma jerk is still a jerk). I would roll my eyes (at best) at a player who portrayed an offensive character and then actually tried to argue something that boiled down to [I]"But you have to like me - I have a 28 Charisma!"
