No doubt I mean come on he's got the worlds most beautiful woman at his beck and call.

Which one? I picked it up some time ago, but started watching from 1st episode again to fresh up my memory. It's more-or-less 10 years since I watched it and then I only got to the end of the Lightning God arc. I know there's Nami and Nico Robin (I liked Princess Vivi, but she was only in one arc). I also heard about some Boa chick.

One Piece contains no beautiful females, only freakish ones.

You're just jealous of Luffy's swag.


Cha 20, Int 7, Wis 7

Sounds like the majority of politicians to me.

Sovereign Court

Any one of a number of Hollywood stars - they're exceptionally attractive and after a while of having fans fawn over them and the media drool over them they begin to develop a pretty big ego. They may not be smart, they make dumb mistakes, but they're pretty and sure of themselves.

Kamina, from Gurren Lagann has better swag, and is an awesome example of a PC with these mental stats.

Pierce the heavens!

Never heard of that show.

Gurren Lagann, the show with the most epic final battle ever.

I disagree that this is Forrest Gump. Gump always knew the right thing to say and right action to take. Gump would be 7 INT, 18 WIS.

Me too but for a slightly different reason:

Cha 20

Bullied at school, didn't appear to have many friends a college - though made the football team, one real friend in the army. Doesn't scream Cha 20 to me.

I wouldn't put his Wis quite as high as 18 either. Champion Table Tennis player and good soldier - Dex is clearly his highest stat, with a bit of Str and Con.

I would think a 20 CHA, 7 INT and 7 WIS would be more like Paris Hilton than Forest Gump.

Roleplay him like that one politician from that party you don't like. I mean, he/she is obviously an idiot, but so many people seem to be influenced by them.


Luffy from One Piece has better than 7 Wisdom. He's at least a 12. Charisma doesn't help you to know what is the right thing to do.

And Kamina is obviously a genius - nobody else could come up with a line like: "Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me! Who believes in you!"

Grand Lodge

"Who do think I am?!?!"

A genius, no. Awesome and charismatic, yes.


Most politicians DON'T have a 7 Int ok a few do like Biden or Quayle, but most seem to get by just fine with complicated arguments and even big words. They mostly seem to have a poor Wisdom however considering the huge list of scandals that frequently rock the halls of government.

By the way, let's keep politics, off the boards.

It's always ends bad.

Always.

Actually that's stupid, but thanks to high Charisma it sounds clever and inspirational. Remember, it doesn't matter what you say, what matters is how you say it.

I agree, that's why I deliberately went with a bi-partisan comparison.

Grand Lodge

Preemptive strike.

It's on Hulu if you have access. Go watch. It's also one of the closest parallels to how 3.5/Pathfinder character power developes on the Fast table with very little regard for any kind of practical reality (like actual training) that I have ever seen. "From zero to hero in no time flat," is quite accurate.


History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi is better.

The Exchange

I was GOING to say something like

**Insert picture of Anna Nicole Smith in her heyday**

but Mark Hoover won the thread already.

Scarab Sages

Any US President in the Modern Era, A television "We don't charge you a dime if we don't win" injury attorney, Vince from Slap Chop all fall into the charismatic but dumb pool.

If you want to go the CHA = Pretty route: Fabio, Stereotypical Dumb Blonde, Any of the Alphas except Stan Gable (too high INT) or Ogre (too low CHA) from Revenge of the Nerds, Most of the frat on Animal House.

Grand Lodge

Perfect example: Rocky Horror.

Bluh. You can thank one of my old gaming group guys for ruining this one for me. Just would not shut up about it.

Liberty's Edge

Gilderoy Lockhart, from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Man, don't tell me sarcasm is now becoming a lost art too.

And actually, no, it is not stupid - but it certainly isn't glaring genius either. However, Kamina came up with the exact right things to say to get Simon going again - that is Wisdom right there.

Inspirational speech via diplomacy check sounds more fitting to me.

No, but sometimes it is very difficult to tell from a snippet of text as opposed to a lengthy discourse or spoken words.

That is why many people will put something like

[/sarcasm]

to indicate the preceeding was a sarcastic comment.


7/7/20 ? Sociopath.


joey tribbiani how you doin?

Oooh that one party! I disliked that thing they did!


When you have a really high charisma---and I interpret a 20 as being about 5 sigma, people interpret your other qualities with a massive halo effect, and not only that, when forced to cop to your weaknesses, they look at them as endearing rather than annoying or dangerous. Think SNL's sexual harrassment skits.


Paris Hilton... ?
