What makes people charismatic? I mean, I do alright with strangrs but I'm not outgoing enough to engage them wholeheartedly.

Charisma is the measure of the character's combined physical attractiveness, persuasiveness, and personal magnetism. A generally non-beautiful character can have a very high charisma due to strong measures of the other two aspects of charisma. Charisma influences how many spells spontaneous arcane spellcasters (like sorcerers and bards) can cast per day, and the effectiveness of said spells. It also affects Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, Gather Information, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Perform, and Use Magic Device checks, how often and how effectively clerics and paladins can turn undead, the wild empathy of druids and rangers, and a paladin's lay on hands ability.

I don't really know. I think it's their attitude towards life and other people....combined with experience gained from dealing with people...
also, it helps if you have a face like mine that makes people want to come up and talk to you




I'm a bit of a social slut though.

Charismatic people have strong interpersonal intelligence?

the definition:




someone who isn't that attractive, isn't that funny/cool/smart, and isn't that talented, but just has something about them that, despite screaming, tearing clothes off, and fake-fighting men in your underwear, makes them a national treasure.

Charisma is like beauty, different people have different tastes.
