Attribute: Charisma

Charisma is the raw measure of your character's likeability, gregariousness, and popular appeal. As the character's Charisma rating increases they become more likely to make friends and establish relationships based on the magnetism of their personality. Each Charisma rating listed below includes a feat that your character could reasonably attempt with a little work and a successful plan. Charisma is differentiated from Manipulation in that Charisma based rolls are personal appeals to friendship and a genuine desire to foster a relationship with another character. Manipulation rolls, on the other hand, are always appeals to use social pressure to get one's way--usually ending up resulting in resentment and dysfunctional relationships. The simple rule of thumb is that if the social roll would strengthen the relationship between characters, it's a Charisma roll.
