I recently made up a game-breakingingly ridiculous class for the Homebrew Base Class Challenge (see sig), and his main vulnerability is charisma damage (and being highly susceptible to death). So, what's likely to be the end of him? I think I only remember poisons dealing charisma damage... are there spells and monsters that do the same?

Maiming Strike. Exemplars of Evil p. 25.

Panaeolo. Lords of Darkness p. 128. Ingested drug (magical), but if surreptitiously/forcibly administered, has a side effect of 1d6 Cha damage, and if two doses are taken within an hour, overdose does an additional 2d8 Cha damage.

Ego Whip (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/egoWhip.htm)

Also, the soulknife's (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/classes/soulknife.htm) knife to the soul ability. Unfortunately, it's mind-affecting and you need 13 levels of soulknife to take it. By then it's pretty much too late to bother with.

A ghost does Charisma damage and I think visilights (Lawful Neutral predators from the Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus -- ie MM II(I)?

In a similar vein, the Gray Jester from Heroes of Horror can drain Charisma.

There's a spell, I can't recall the name or place, but you disguise as the victim and they take 1d6 Charisma damage...

Inner beauty if the target is evil delivers a -4 penalty to Dex and Cha

EDIT: can also double as a buff that gives the same penalties... but as a perfection bonus (or sacred i think...)

Insults and bullets?

Cut up their face or even *gulp* other parts?

Hormone injections?

Bestow curse can give someone -6 to Charisma, permanently for a 3rd level cleric spell. That's severely f***ing up a sorcerer at these levels, if you want to be mean to your PCs
