[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 4072696, member: 1465"] Charisma contended with Wisdom the role of dump-stat for D&D rogues since a very long time, and today all of sudden everyone realize that most Rogues are charismatic! ;) I think it's like that only because MOST main characters in novels and fiction are charismatic by default. If they are the unique protagonist of the story (like Indiana Jones or James Bond or Lara Croft or Arsene Lupin), they are practically always charismatic, because that's what makes the protagonist "cool" when seen interacting with other characters. There are very FEW fiction protagonists/main characters who are NOT charismatic, as that makes for an unsual fictional hero. That means you get charismatic rogues, but also charismatic wizards (nearly all of them, at least the good ones), charismatic warriors etcetera... [/QUOTE]
