I look at CHR skills like any other skills.  I'll make a climb analagy.  Lets say bob has a 8str and no ranks in climb he wants to climb a wall with a knotted rope. (DC 0) he rolls a one, and abrely suceeds.  It aint pretty but he gets uo the wall.  Now Krusk has a 8chr and no CHR skills he wants to find out where the enarest bathromm is. (DC0)  He rolls a one and barely suceeds, it aint pretty but he gets directions to the abthroom just in time.  Two days later Bob emboldened by his ability to climb a knotted rope decides to scale the cliffs of insanity with no climbing tools DC20+, he rolls a one climbsa decent height and falls to his death.  Krusk impressed with his own skill at getting directions decides to negotiate a peace settlement with the Red Dragon in the near by mountain DC20+ he rolls a one and promtly gets eaten.  Basicaly some things anyone can succeed at because they are so simple, from ordering ale to climbing a tree with lots of low branches, they basically don't even need a check unless you are at some penalties, you have a broken jaw or are carrying way too much gear.  Other checks are more difficult, but the price of failure isn't that great.  Negotiating a better deal on that battle axe or sneaking up on a friend to pull off a prank.  It may cost yuo a few GPs or to be amde to look the fool but nothing big.  Other skill checks falure by 5 or more can be disasterous.  Climbing the cliffs of insanity or neogitiating with a dragon.</blockquote>
