        Charisma is being able to sell a tomato-based fruit salad. That's how we got salsa.

                  10 is average for an adventuring hero. Not necessarily for most "civilians" if you want to call them that.

                        "Charisma is a sex appeal" is funny, but that's not really entirely accurate. It's about motivating others towards your goals whatever that may be, having a presence that commands attention and being a good communicator. That's why charisma helps disparate skills like lying, persuading, intimidating, and performing. Sex appeal may superficially help some of those things, but so does a half-giant that makes you piss yourself with their mere presence, or an old fat guy who speaks with clarity of conviction and intelligence. Ain't nobody want to fuck Winston Churchill, and he was an asshole as well. But he was a very charismatic figure, still.

                        Charisma is essentially Social Skills. Social Skills definitely help you get laid, but also convince a shopkeeper to give you a discount, persuade a guard to look the other way, etc.

                          One of the things I liked about the Chronicles of Darkness system is it cleared this up nicely. Stats were in a 3x3 grid. One axis was physical, mental, social The other was Power, Finesse, Resistance. Want to shove something? Physical + Power. That's strength. Want to figure out a riddle? Mental + Finesse. That's Dexterity. Command attention? Social + Power. That's the Presence stat. Lie and misdirect? Social + Finesse. Stat was called Manipulation. Now you can have a character that's commanding without also being a natural liar and flirt. DND doesn't help let you do that because the concepts are bundled together into a single stat. (You could invest separately into like Expression for making speeches and Deception for lying, of course) Humans are rated 1 to 5, where a 5 is the peak of human capability. Presence 5 is like AAA movie stars and great leaders. Of course, if you add supernaturals to your game a starting chump vampire could have **seven** presence if they take Majesty as their power, and become a nearly irresistible magnet of attention.

                            I have never seen Intelligence contrasted with Wisdom in a way that felt fitting. Does an intelligent person not know when not to speak?

                              My prime example would be Donald Trump. Hideously looking and true evil while dumping strength, dexterity, constitution (unfortunately not enough), intelligence and wisdom, but he undeniably has at least an 18 in charisma.

                                  12.5 is average for an adventuring hero using the standard array plus typical adjustments for race. Even if you roll 3d6 across the board with no adjustments, old school, 10.5 is average.

                                    Not really. It's more broad and includes it's original meaning of divine grace or presence. Why would sorcerer's spellcasting ability be charisma? It's broader than social charisma since sorcerer's cast with their innate abilities.

                                      Wisdom is such a weird attribute in ttrpgs, it is often overloaded with the concept of perception. But at the same time I don't necessarily think it should be split to it's own thing, more attributes aren't necessarily better.

                                        Incorrect, 10 is the average for the average human.

                                          I was like "do I?" And looked around my room for the first thing I could use as an improvised club and my eyes landed on a sex toy.
