Comment on “Charisma Breakdown”

Your examples of the highest position to which a character with X Charisma might ascend, seem like the perfect complement to your existing Charisma-based generator for father's profession. By translating from profession to these Cha categories, the players could at once understand how the PC and their family are treated by society. Tons of roleplay potential in that.

There are other benefits to nailing down these guidelines. For example, someone rolling a new PC who sees that Cha 12 is enough to be "an important resident to the community" knows they'll be able to rely on their reputation with local NPCs as an in-game resource. That's enticing enough, to me at least, to consider putting 12 in Cha rather than a true "survival" stat... As these rules evolve your players will have yet another hard choice to make in char creation. So, mission accomplished!
