charisma 'cha stat'
Charisma is social grace, eloquence, attractiveness, and persuasiveness. A charismatic character has better leadership, and will allow groups to be more cohesive when that person leads, thus reducing the experience loss in groups of disparate level and alignment. They will both be able to resist charm, and to keep charmed followers for longer. Charisma also reduces the chance of borderline aggressive monsters attacking. It is also critical in determining the number of quest points that you receive from a quest. Charisma is the prime stat of such skills as War Cry and Charm Person, and of the class Paladin.
