Cha is dying!

Cha is for people who can't roleplay. Mechanics deal with physical interaction, but verbal interaction is the essence of roleplay. In playing 1st Ed, we never used Cha for what it was intended (henchmen etc, reaction adjustments...). If a good Cha roll trumps good roleplaying, it's done the game a disservice. Thus, I think the game would be more sophisticated without Cha skills. However, in leiu of Cha, a real effort must be made to discuss and support the roleplay component. Cha must die!

Rob, I'll listen to what you have to say, but Cha isn't looking too good.
