It’s why no one wanted to play a charisma character with several dms here. And then they’d punish the group by making sure there were extra charisma based encounters. If the barbarian can say “I punch the weak wooden door with my fist” and that’s fine why do I have to have a paragraph ready more than “I sweet talk the guard into letting us into the room for a moment?” and usually take a penalty to the check because my irl words aren’t convincing enough?? Fucking hell, my sorc head 19 charisma. I have, at best, 10. I’m never going to convince you (them) that anything I say is charismatic enough.
