Interesting way of running your NPC's.I'd be inclined to think not getting the information, or getting inaccurate information as the person points vaguely over their shouler when trying to get away would be a suitable consequence of flubbing a Charisma check, but I suppose in games where people do real role-playing, any half-orc that dared to act in a semi-intelligent manner would end up at the very least get dragged off by the guards, if not executed outright. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />If anyone played up the benefits of high Charisma as much as some people do low Charisma, Bards wouldn't be able to get from A to B, because every time they asked for directions there'd be people dropping down to their knees begging to shower them with gold and offer them sexual favors...</blockquote>
