Charisma

Help File

Charisma, CHA in your 'Score', represents your character's physical
beauty and charm.

A character's ability to lead, reflection upon others, and general
persuasiveness are all measured by charisma.

Among other things, charisma affects:

  > Prices charged to a character by shopkeepers
  > Appearance of a character to other mobiles and players
  > Affects the amount of gold a mob drops 
  > Will affect the duration of group leader spells

No class receives charisma as a prime attribute.


Charisma is the secondary attribute of the Thief.

As of the code port on 8/13/2013, charisma now affects how much gold a mob drops on death. It originally gave 113.2% at max charisma, but was quickly adjusted according to the following chart:
