Charisma is one of the main attributes.
Effects[]
- For males, Charisma affects the initial prices in shops. The attitude of the shopkeeper also heavily depends on his and the character's race.
- Charisma determines the chance that companions will listen to the orders of the player.
How to train it[]
Ordering companions[]
Successfully ordering companions slightly trains Charisma[1].
Garth[]
The PC can pay Garth to train their Charisma. Higher values of Charisma require progressively more gold.
Leveling up[]
Like all attributes, Charisma is slightly trained every time the PC levels up.
How to raise it[]
Stat potions[]
Potions of charisma and potions of gain attributes can be used to increase Charisma. There is no soft or hard cap for using these; blessed potions of gain attributes give +1 (to all other stats also), uncursed potions of charisma give +1, blessed potions +2.
Eating Corpses[]
Corpses that ignore potential: Great white wyrm, Ultimate doppelganger (trolls only)
Starsign[]
The Wand starsign grants a +2 Charisma bonus. The Salamander and Falcon starsigns grant +1.
Class powers[]
- Bards receive +6 Charisma as part of their level 50 class power.
Talents[]
The "Charming" talent that is only available at the start of the game increases initial Charisma by 3.
Corruption[]
There are no corruptions that give bonuses to Charisma.
How to abuse It[]
