Charisma

We all know that one guy everyone likes, or that everyone at meetings always listens to. He's also the guy that gets the girls, even though it seems like he hardly tries. If we're lucky, we might be that guy.

With Charisma, you can be that guy. The Charisma attribute represents some combination of personability, magnetism, and good looks. It is, fundamentally, a character's aptitude for social interaction.

Of course, that doesn't mean the Charismatic person is smart, or quick-thinking, or has any sort of spine. But when it comes to dealing with other people, his Charisma is his best asset.
