[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6077207, member: 1465"] I agree, Cha always had this problem that 1 PC in the party with high Charisma can cover the whole party's needs for interaction. 3e already improved the case by giving Cha-based features to some classes (Clerics, Paladins, Bards, Sorcerers) that weren't used for interaction but for combat, but the problem was still there, because it often caused a group to think "the Sorcerer (or Cleric etc) already needs high Cha anyway, what's the point in having a high-Cha Fighter or Rogue in our group? boost your Str (or Dex) instead". I think at least one way to improve things further, is to make sure there are enough Cha ST required during the game, because every PC has to make her own ST and they cannot be avoided (I started a whole thread on ST yesterday for these reasons...). Plus, make sure that there is NO WAY in the core for a PC to get a feat/ability/whatever that allows you to freely choose which stat to use for ST, as in "I have this feat which lets me use Con instead of Cha for ST vs charms".
