Oh, one thing I wanted to add was that I pretty much begged them to reroll it but they wanted to stick with it. One is playing a lawful neutral monk and the other is a druid based on the lotr bjorn. They picked the low stat for roleplay effect and I wanted to make sure it had such effect.


First of all, don't worry about the trolls. Trolls gunna troll.

Second of all, thank everyone for taking time to help me out. You are kind people.

I really needed this. I know what strength does in the game, I knew what intelligence does, charisma ended up confusing me.

Looking at all these view points, I think the one that sticks out the most is just let it play out. The third player is a sorceress with 15 charisma so it's not like I can set them up for for something that she could defuse.

All the topics brought up have made me realize what aspect charisma can have in the non combat world.


That really is my problem. It's not defined as well as other abilities. I already decided it couldn't make them ugly but as much as I figure, people won't understand them. Not like they are incoherent but they won't understand their tone or motivation.


Yeah I'm newer to being a gm if you couldn't tell. This will be my 5th session ever. I didn'tthink about the charm and dominate, that's really interesting considering the 3rd player in this group is going for precisely those things.

I might have random npcs throw copper at him because he is clearly homeless (in their minds) I think besides the charisma rolled things, I will just make him never truly understood. He just won't have a way with words.

Haha. I love the suggestions! I probably won't kill unless they do it to themselves . I say punish but that's probably because I'm in the middle of reading the dresden files. Jim Butcher just punishes dresden. A more accurate way to say it is how can I use this low charisma in funny or creative ways to help grow their bond with their character.

I'm starting a game with my friends this Thursday and two of them are starting with vertu low rolled charisma, the lowest being 5. If it was intelligence, they would be 3 points away from not being able to speak!

So I feel like prices will be higher for them off course and randomly fights will stay because they looked at someone wrong but I'm wondering if any of you have good ideas how to punish these people.

Thank you
