This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Bill;697938I don't mind a 'party caller' when it makes sense within the game.

But I dislike it when a high charisma peasant speaks for a low charcaisma noble. Sometimes the lower charisma character would be the only rational choice.

Otherwise its a metagame thing.

True.  But then in a world where noble birth is what people look at in a Leader I would argue that CHA and social status are pretty correlated.  Might explain why Paladins have a 17+ CHA.

I think my point is the Cha value by itself is not always going to make someone the leader. It may make therm capable as leader, but does not ensure they are the leader.

A millitary officer could be the worst leader ever with crap charisma, moron, the works. Still can have high rank and order people to stand on their head.

What exactly is a low charcaisma noble?  Is that something from your campaign world?

He misspelled "charmiasma". That's the odor that hangs around would-be alphas. The stink of dominance.

Low charcaisma nobles are exactly like David Hasselhoff.

No, he misspelled "chelicerae."  His nobles are all arthropods without mandibles.
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

The rules can\'t cure stupid, and the rules can\'t cure asshole.

My Android keyboard suggests "chat cabana". A Facebook community for nobles only, moderated by @Lola.

I think I have a clearer idea of his game world, now. It's based on Barry Manilow songs.

Wait...who doesn't base their setting on Manilow?

He is the Greater God of the pantheon.

Well...he does have competetion from The Hoff.

Not Really.

Manilow wrote the songs man. The Hoff can't even sing them.

The Hoff could be this 1e style demonlord who corrupts Manilow's creations.

Hoff's chest hair could be tentacles or something. Also he'd be served by succubi in tight-fitting red costumes.

Definative Proof that Hoff is at least an arch devil, poissibly a lesser deity.

I suppose Liberace is like the Elder God Creator Deity of the pantheon?
