I've never even seen a 5E party which didn't have a CHA class in it, and odds-wise, it's quite unlikely.That'd be the only time it made sense on more than an RP/thematic level. And you're obviously fine to do that. Just don't say it makes mechanical sense when it doesn't!No Bard, no Paladin, no Sorcerer, no Warlock.What are the odds? Low. And no they can't bring "all of the Fighter power" because to do what you're suggesting they need to:A) Put points in CHA.B) Pick Persuasion as a SkillC) Be a Battlemaster and no other subclassesD) They can do this once or twice per Short Rest (at the cost of getting HP back!), so you'd better hope the entire encounter rests on a SINGLE social roll!It's really not for pretending to be a Face.I mean there is that, why have STR at all? Just go CHA, 1 level dip in Warlock, Blade Pact and your multi-attacks are delayed by one level but everything is going off CHA and you can choose to do Radiant or Necrotic damage!</blockquote>
