CHA Heavy Classes?

[CyberThread]

Bard,Warlock,DFA, Umm Sorcerer...


What other classes are heavy on Charisma?

[Gildedragon]

Paladin, Favored Soul, Binder (to a point), The Sha'ir IIRC

[eggynack]

Clerics can be, especially if they want to turn turn attempts into persisted spells. It might not even be a secondary stat, but it's a stat.

[Jack_Simth]

Paladin, Favored Soul, Binder (to a point), The Sha'ir IIRC
Hexblade, Favoured Soul.

[eggynack]

Dread necromancers are charisma based.

[Karnith]

The Shugenja and Shadowcaster also have Charisma-based casting, though the latter's is only partially based on Charisma.

[I'm_On_A_Broom]

Any character that wants to do well in social situations without roleplaying :smallbiggrin:

[Kelb_Panthera]

A knight wants a decent cha score for his knight's challenge abilities and a (CW) samurai wants it for his smite.

[prufock]

Marshal is big on charisma.

[Gwazi Magnum]

Psion who chooses Charisma as their main discipline.

[CyberThread]

is that pathfinder? Discipline?

[Kelb_Panthera]

Psion who chooses Charisma as their main discipline.

Either you mean a wilder or you're still using the gods-awful 3.0 psionics. All psions manifest from intelligence since the 3.5 update.

A very outgoing barbarian can be quite charismatic. :smalltongue:

[ArcturusV]

Warmage is also a Charisma based caster. It just wants Charisma AND Intelligence as Intelligence adds damage to their spells.

Course, a Rogue can be very Charisma intensive, least most of mine are between Moneymancy use (UMD) and Social Skills.

Samurai (Oriental Adventures) as well is pretty Charisma Intensive, as some of their more important skills key off Charisma, including Iajutsu Focus.

A very outgoing barbarian can be quite charismatic. :smalltongue:
Actually, a barbarian can become one of the most powerful intimidation builds in the game. I don't know if charisma is strictly required to make it work, but charisma is certainly better on a barbarian than it is on some other classes.

[Harrow]

Well, Truenamers use CHA to determine the DC of their utterances. Everyone I've ever heard of using one dumps CHA and takes utterances that don't allow saves, but there is a hypothetical Truenamer build that relies on CHA.
