To myself: “it’s a joke it’s a joke it’s a joke…”
Yelling: “THE OTHER STATS ARE THERE TOO LIKE INTELLIGENCE AND STRENGTH! CHARISMA ISN’T A “POWER” AND MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY DUMP IT BUT…”
I dunno, of course there’s rizz as a stat. Strength is how well you bonk and charisma is how well you talk. You don’t need to be able to lift what you character can and charisma can reflect more subtle things that, even if you could irl, are harder to work into a game. That said, even with -1 I regularly get through conversations because my DM rewards good roleplaying by not making us roll for everything.
Sorry for the ramble.
Charisma may affect how well you bonk or at least how often you get a chance to, although perhaps we are thinking of bonk in different senses.
"Bonk! You go to horny jail."'
Ah, common mix-up, you’re thinking of boinking.
