Why, yes! You would be able to roll for it in one of my games!
Speaking of… I’m looking to run a oneshot this weekend. A quick 3-4 hour adventure. I’ve run it before and everythings prepared, just gotta find the players for it! So if you’re available to start a session between 5-8PM EST on Saturday or 1-8PM EST on Sunday, then check out my thread below!
Sure but that’s still a weird situation when you lack charisma in real life. My 20 CHA character with proficiency in persuasion would have ideas and know which of those options would work best in this situation. It’s absolutely demanding on your real life charisma in a way no other check is.
Nobody asks for a real life strength check before the barbarian can push the boulder out of the way
Nobody asks the player running a rogue to demonstrate “how they’d pick the lock” to determine how high the PC needs to roll in the game
Yes, I have a bard like this. I love her dearly, but she is exhausting. That’s why I consider carefully before I decide if I’m going to use her.
Maybe you just should stick to playing a low charisma character and smash things
Maybe it’s a role playing game and the entire purpose is to role play as something besides yourself
Do you go around comically smashing things in real life?
I’m just saying if you’re struggling to play the game a certain way you can just play a way that better fits you and you might enjoy it more
I just had another idea, you could play like the Puss in boots in Shrek. Where all your charm and persuasion checks are done by just making a cute face at people.
Like, you can play it like if you have the body of a god and everytime the DM tells you “how do you persuade this person?” You just say “I take my shirt off and throw my hair backwards and look at them intently”
Like make it so you just have a signature move that you can use in every check, it might not be as entertaining and RP as making shit up each time but it sure makes it easier to play and practically let’s you meme your way through
