My most controversial/unpopular D&D opinion is that high CHA characters should only be played by high CHA people.
What if an awkward person wants to have a power fantasy about being a smooth talker? What if they want to play a warlock or bard?
I had a 3 CHA character and I struggled to actually be that low of a charisma irl because I kept talking normally, so I had to fake stutters and be extremely creepy to make up for it. Oh and I was schizophrenic. Didn't plan for it. GM made me do it.
Counter-hot-take: Rip the charisma stat and its skills out of the game. It's half-baked as it is. The cha classes can be moved to int or wis.
