[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 3525998, member: 32536"] I can't say how to roleplay a dump in Charisma (I never do so), but for my latest character I dumped Wisdom. This translates into recklessness, stubborness (it takes him a while to realize that his great battle plan isn't working anymore), drunkeness, and a bad habit of singing Brellish war anthems in a Karrnathi tavern (playing in Eberron). For low charisma, I suggest that you play the character as shy, nervous, or just socially awkward. Low charisma characters would have few friends (possibly preferring it that way), would be less likely to voice their opinions, might hesitate before acting, and are more likely to ask the opinions of others. At extremes, they might act more like a side-kick than a central character. I don't think Charisma reflects either good looks or "social graces", but rather raw force of personality, confidence, and possibly (and I'm quoting a WotC boards post here), Nietzsche's "Will to Power".
