It lets whatever stat be your casting stat with no regard to how that actually works, because they designed 5th ed to be like a videogame instead of an rpg. Your suave smooth talker is somehow a better wizard than a wizard. Why? Because he has a high stat! Internally to the game it makes sense, because the basic conceit of 5th ed is to ignore ANY rational for anything. Unlike previous editions 5th ed doesn't even try to hold to any sort of reality simulation. Things are that way because they are that way.This is the same thing as dex being the most OP stat in the game. A 7yr old child with a high dex will stab harder than a 8ft tall goliath warrior, because dex! If you try and imagine the game and play it as an rpg instead of a analog videogame, 5th ed doesn't make very much sense.</blockquote>
