"Roleplaying high str doesnt mean you lift weights at the table" well, once i actually had to, i was playing a big, strong paladin, had no healing left and 2 party members were down, so i tried to move them at the same time. The dm told me it was impossible, i told him if i could do that OOC then my pc could, and proceeded to lift 2 other players at the same time
(to be fair i picked the smallest ppl of our group lol)

what i do when rping something i'm not is i find a character in media that has the trait im looking for and channel their energy instead of my own when playing. i think a lot of times people think "what would *I* do in this situation if i was like my character" or otherwise try to look inward for answers. but, if i instead think along the lines of "what would [existing character similar to your pc] do in this situation, " i usually come up with much better ideas, and then i'm able to modify those ideas to better fit my character. and eventually, you become more comfortable in your character's mindset and you're actually able to think "what would my character do" and come up with good answers!

I love the awkward but endearing type of charisma! I think that's an easy way to step into a higher charisma character, because you can bumble and stutter all you need, but the other person will still probably find you cute or approachable.

So useful! This is something I struggle with as someone who loves Bards, but is not a natural showman.

Honestly, I'm so glad you mentioned the awkward but charismatic thing. I tried that once with a character, and it was received SUPER well. One of the players in our group was a very happy and excitable type, and she was trying to play a hardened badass type character, and she kept breaking character to point out how bad she felt that she had to be so cold to my character. Super gratifying as a player to have a character received so well.

I love how half of this is ‘how to have a semblance of Charisma in real life’
Now I just need some tips on dex…

Don't be afraid to get inspiration from other media. Role-playing is all about experimenting, so if you heard a line in a movie once, go ahead and try it out if you think it fits the character

People always think it’s all or nothing when you’re going to rp a conversation, especially persuasion. But the mid point you described is absolutely just as acceptable and can easily be a jumping off point for those who are more shy or timid and don’t know what to say when the DM asks you how you persuade them. Definitely something to keep in mind so I can advise folks in the future.

imma remind them of our continuous patronage while casting produce flame, got it

I’ve got a character who I like to think of as subtly charming/intimidating. He’s generally chill, gives compliments and exudes cool but he’s also a 6”5 dogfolk with a gun. If I want to intimidate someone I’d do it with a grin and a semi chill “well, we wouldn’t wanna do that, would we?” tone. He’s generally reasonable and quite emotionally intelligent and I like playing that in a high cha character

“Work with your DM” she said.

“But I am the DM” Pagliacci cried.

My current high charisma/intelligence character has been convincing orcs and goblins to help us with being cute and having baked goods on hands at all times. Did i mention she is a rouge?

[andreaspersson]

As someone with the natural charisma of a fancy rock (and a love of paladins), Thank. You!

The approach I take is to plan as much as possible. As a bard I have everything I want to do for inspiration planned out in advance. What comes naturally to my character takes work for me.

[seadaw]

For about twenty sessions now, I've been playing a bard whose previous occupation was working as an envoy or representative for her noble house (She is the daughter of a duke and duchess). How exactly this relates to her being a Bard is a long story so I won't go into detail, but essentially, her charisma may partially be a result of her being, wel... *gorgeous*... But she's not very seductive or anything. It's mostly just that she's just an all-round delight to talk to. She's well-spoken, polite (unless you REALLY make her mad, which is quite hard), honest and as reasonable as she can be (pertaining to things like accepting new ideas or even accepting that she may have been wrong). This also leads to her earning the respect of those around her, which also adds up to her general presence and force of personality.

That's not entirely her own doing of course, because she's been trained at the art of intrigue, eloquence and etiquette since she was a teenager, but it's not as if she's actually unreasonable, childish and evil on the inside or something.

Just trying to contribute to the whole 'how many different ways are there to roleplay charisma' thing. Thanks for reading, and have a great day.

You said “threatening to burn down his tavern” way happier then any other phrase in your explanation
