I've said this before but charisma being the go-to dump stat in RPG games has fucked over a generation of autists who didn't realize that it's the most important stat IRL https://twitter.com/bog_beef/status/1275936925090754560 …

I do more thinking about RPGs rather than play them but I think this skew in games comes from the weird mechanics where a group of PCs is supposed to be able to win in combat against things that can beat armies. If 4 guys can beat an army then CHA is a dump stat.

depends on the game. if you're playing a game where 4 players have a dozen leveled characters total and CHA is the reason they don't have 8 instead, CHA matters. also CHA as casting stat is often absurd when it means that your caster is also the party face

In my mind there is a division between games where you navigate court politics (because 3 guards can kill anyone in hand to hand combat) and games where you go out in the wilderness to fight giant monsters; the latter has weird world-building implications that aren't followed up

high level PCs are basically monsters that happen to walk on two legs and have a medium size.

Imagine Genghis Khan could solo an entire city; obviously every leader would be a high level PC and the dynamics would be so alien to ours that they wouldn't resemble them in the slightest.
