Charisma is one of the six ability scores. A minimum natural score of 15 or 17 is required for druid and shadowdancer dual-class combinations.

Charisma, alongside reputation, adjusts reaction – which influences interactions with NPCs, as well as modifying the purchase prices in stores. This score will also be checked (not shown in-game) during certain dialogues for various effects.

Scores table[]

Prices when buying from merchants are affected by the charisma of the character in the uppermost portrait position, the current "party leader", no matter who's talking. Charisma has no effect when the party is selling items.

The Charisma modifier is subtracted from a Reputation multiplier, and the result is multiplied by the store's sell markup and the item's base price. See shop prices for details.
