[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 3767858, member: 14506"] Quite honestly, a high CHA has nothing to do with talking a lot. And being able to talk a lot has nothing to do with how a god will treat you. In my book Charisma is about personal magnetism and how well the character can manipulate others to their way of thinking. Now that may be done by fast-talking or it could be done by debate or even by intimidating them with their presence. Point is a high CHA does not equate talking a lot. Another point, a characters faith in ones deity translates mechanically like you said into clerics being able to hear and see very well. In my book that just screams psion and monk, someone who really truly tries to better them selves from within. Wisdom should be tied to all "innate" stuff. Innate stuff would be: senses, will saves, and psion/monk like powers. Last point on this, the definition sounds pretty divinly inspired... from dictionary.com: cha·ris·ma /kəˈrɪzmə/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[kuh-riz-muh] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun, plural -ma·ta /-mətə/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[-muh-tuh] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation. 1. Theology. a divinely conferred gift or power. 2. a spiritual power or personal quality that gives an individual influence or authority over large numbers of people. 3. the special virtue of an office, function, position, etc., that confers or is thought to confer on the person holding it an unusual ability for leadership, worthiness of veneration, or the like.
