Beauty and the Bother

Got a PC in your group who thinks their Charisma score will get them out of any jam?
Not with this book!

DM: “That will cost 20 gold.”
Charismatic Character: “Don’t I get a discount?”
DM: “Why?”.

 Charismatic Character: “I seduce the priest!”
DM: “Roll your Charisma.”
Charismatic Character: “I got a 1.”
DM: “Despite your good looks and charming words the priest shrieks and runs away.”

 The Gamers: Dorkness Rising movie: “Charisma? Wheeee!”

 This is an article my wife wrote nearly 20 years ago. At the time it grew out of how I was handling her character’s high Charisma score. We discussed how if I favored her, as the DM’s wife, it would be uncool. That’s when it hit her - Charisma can be a blessing and a curse! Quickly putting fingers to keyboard she wrote this to give me inspiration for making her character’s high Charisma interesting, not just a benefit. Enjoy!

 P.S. If you are going to pull these on your new Bard or Sorcerer player or whatever, at least let them know that their Charisma score can sometimes be a bother, and give them the heads up you intend to make it quite a ride!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
