Charisma

Charisma affects how well you get along with people. Game-wise, it affects prices, performance income, and the number of pets who can accompany you. Every character may have at least 2 pets, plus one more pet for every five charisma starting from 10, up to a maximum total of fifteen pets. Pets assigned as shopkeepers or breeders, told to stay at your house (including maids) and pets waiting in town all count towards this total.

Companions gained in escort quests count towards this total, so if your party is full, you can not do these quests.

Flavor Text

Upon increase: "You enjoy showing off your body."

Upon decrease: "You start to avoid the eyes of people."

How to train it

Charisma can be trained by eating certain food or by sleeping with drunk NPCs. "Having a little tail" with NPCs will decrease Karma (-1), have a small chance to make you sick, increase relationship with the NPC, and net you some money. The amount of gold "earned" is dependent on your charisma, current relationship with involved NPC and some random variable; up to all the gold currently held by the NPC. You're promptly told by the NPC if they cannot afford the full price when it's done. "It's all I have." You can also "buy" a prostitute, which will cost you money and sanity but train Charisma.
