'''Charisma''' measures your ability to interact effectively with others. It includes such factors as confidence and eloquence, and it can represent a charming or commanding personality. It is one of six [[Using Ability Scores|ability scores]] which describe every creature.

===Charisma Checks===
A Charisma check might arise when you try to influence or entertain others, when you try to make an impression or tell a convincing lie, or when you are navigating a tricky social situation. The [[Deception]], [[Intimidation]], [[Performance]], and [[Persuasion]] [[skills]]reflect aptitude in certain kinds of Charisma checks.

'''''Deception.''''' Your Charisma ([[Deception]]) check determines whether you can convincingly hide the truth, either verbally or through your actions. This deception can encompass everything from misleading others through ambiguity to telling outright lies. Typical situations include trying to fast-talk a guard, con a merchant, earn money through gambling, pass yourself off in a disguise, dull someone’s suspicions with false assurances, or maintain a straight face while telling a blatant lie.

'''''Intimidation.''''' When you attempt to influence someone through overt threats, hostile actions, and physical violence, the DM might ask you to make a Charisma ([[Intimidation]]) check. Examples include trying to pry information out of a prisoner, convincing street thugs to back down from a confrontation, or using the edge of a broken bottle to convince a sneering vizier to reconsider a decision.

'''''Performance.''''' Your Charisma ([[Performance]]) check determines how well you can delight an audience with music, dance, acting, storytelling, or some other form of entertainment.

'''''Persuasion.''''' When you attempt to influence someone or a group of people with tact, social graces, or good nature, the GM might ask you to make a Charisma ([[Persuasion]]) check. Typically, you use persuasion when acting in good faith, to foster friendships, make cordial requests, or exhibit proper etiquette. Examples of persuading others include convincing a chamberlain to let your party see the king, negotiating peace between warring tribes, or inspiring a crowd of townsfolk.

'''''Other Charisma Checks.''''' The DM might call for a Charisma check when you try to accomplish tasks like the following:
* Find the best person to talk to for news, rumors, and gossip
* Blend into a crowd to get the sense of key topics of conversation

===Spellcasting Ability===
[[Scion]]s use Charisma as their casting ability, which helps determine the
[[saving throw]] [[DC]]s of [[spells]] they cast.
