It'd be a complete waste for a shy player who isn't really comfortable doing a lot of roleplay-talking to try to play a suave noble knight or some such, when the GM is always going to award him between 1-5 for his feeble efforts, while the charisma 4 goat-boy next to him happens to be on some debate team and always gets 18-20 from the GM.People like to roleplay characters that are unlike them in personality sometimes, you shouldn't penalise them because their own personality doesn't match it, same as you wouldn't penalise a fat slob who wanted to play Conan the Barbarian."I'm going to award that attack roll a 4 because you can only bench-press 120 pounds."</blockquote>
