[QUOTE="pdzoch, post: 6943571, member: 80982"] Everytime I open the rule books, it feels like I discover something new. The DM's guide has an optional rule called loyalty that sort of fit the group charisma check. The loyalty score, or loyalty to the party, is based on the highest charisma score in the group. The loyalty is adjusted by everyone's action, and the loyalty of the NPC is to the group, not just the high charisma character. If the high charisma character dies or leaves, the NPC still stays, but the max loyalty score will simply use the next highest charisma score. To make it a true collective check some sort of aggregate score could be used instead. Or the penalties for a low charisma of the group members could be applied to the loyalty score to illustrate that while ONE of the characters is inarguably charismatic, the other might be just a drag that it can not override the high charisma of the one character.
