He has multiple girls into him despite being awkward at time, he has high Cha.

[-] gerusz@ttrpg.network 43 points 1 year ago

Yeah, he was a condescending sexist prick to the Kiyoshi warriors (initially), and while it did earn him some beatings, it didn't get him a restraining order and he even got with Suki in the end. That's high CHA alright.

I don't know about you, but to me, the fact that he showed genuine humility and willingness to step beyond his initial chauvinism (after some hands-on lessons about fighting women) had a lot more to do with that than his charm.

Right? His main squeeze met him by kicking his ass over sexist comments. Classic Bard shit.

Charisma is force of personality. Being hot is just a circumstance modifier to some checks.

[-] PastorHaggis@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

In Pathfinder 1e, it mentions that high charisma can mean an attractive person. We know this can be true because my bard had a 36 cha (PF1e is broken lmao) and we all know it wasn't his personality.

~~Yeah, but it affects ALL charisma rolls, so it's effectively just a permanent CHA boost applied directly to the character. No functional difference from naturally high CHA, IMO.~~

Wait.

It doesn't work if target doesn't have LOS, so loophole found, we just have to invent the internet or telephone in-universe to nullify sokka's advantage.

Edit: or drop a permanent orb of darkness over him so nobody can see what he looks like

And he throws metal the hard way.

Trying to defend being a massive Sokka simp, I see?

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Depending on the person, being awkward can be charming and sweet.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

His CHA was high enough that he kept rolling low and saying silly things and it still was good enough.

[-] Lianodel@ttrpg.network 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Like when the character is more charismatic than the player. "I don't know what to say in this situation, but I rolled well!"

[-] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Let my socially awkward peeps play a bard if they want to, damn

[-] Lianodel@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 year ago

I mean, yeah, that was my point.

The same thing happens with intelligence. D&D characters often have superhuman abilities, so you've got to just do your best with the roleplaying, but let interpretation and die rolls fill in the gaps.

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

On the contrary, if you keep trying then eventually you'll roll a 20 no matter how low your CHA is. That's good enough in circumstances where you do get to keep trying and you only need to succeed once. Sokka would keep trying while Zuko would refuse to risk looking like a fool.

[-] theKalash@feddit.ch 22 points 1 year ago

That's rough buddy.

[-] sammytheman666@ttrpg.network 8 points 1 year ago

We all praise Sokka, but let's not forget that the live action actress of the princess got a dick haircut, the ultimate bard haircut.
