[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 968289, member: 53"] It could be if it wasn't for the fact that Batman is considered to have a high Willpower [I]even among superheroes in his strata[/I]. Absolutely, he has a forceful personality. He has shown many ways of getting people to do what he wants them to do. Part of the problem is that D&D assumes when you have a high charisma you are likeable. In real life, many of those that would be considered to have a high charisma are hated by as many people as love them. They always have a strong reaction, but which way it does depends on the person. There is certainly support for Batman being close to the pinnacle of human development. Indeed, IIRC, the designers of one of the DC Heroes RPGs stated that Batman was the benchmark they had to use to determine how powerful a [I]normal[/I] person was allowed to be.
