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

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

If you should have learned one thing from feminism, it's that charisma and physical attractiveness are not the same thing.

Pretty sure that's not the one thing you should take away from feminism. Pretty sure it's something about equality.

If you learned one thing from D&D, they are.

I get that this is a bit, but even in D&D charisma and attractiveness are different. Unless the elder brain is supposed to be sexy, then I need to rethink some things.

charisma is a function of multiple things, including how hot you are. sokka is hot enough to give him high charisma
