Talk:Charisma

Which weapon skills besides Dancing Edge are affected by CHR?

Shadowstitch. --Chrisjander 11:09, 12 May 2006 (PDT)

I don't believe, that Charisma has NOTHING to do with enmity. So, why has the Paladin-AF so much CHR+? And even when you compare a Paladin with a lot CHR+ gear and a Paladin without CHR+ gear, the CHR+ gear-Paladin has a lot more hate. In my opinion it's the same like 2STR=1Attack, or 2AGI=1Evasion; say: 2CHR=1Enmity ... it's quite imaginable.

PLD gets CHR+ gear because it enhances their Undead Killer trait. It's been tested that CHR has no impact on enmity. --Chrisjander 12:57, 29 October 2006 (EST)

So why does the THF-Relic-hands and feet also has CHR+? Only for Dancing Edge (and maybe Shadowstitch)? ... because THF does not have any other use of CHR, does he? Why does DRK AF have MND? Same reason. Weapon Skill Modifier. --Zero 00:33, 31 October 2006 (EST)

I've also heard rumor that CHR effects the chance of Blu Mages learning their spells. Anyone else have information on this? --Revitozu 03:48, 11, November 2006 (EST)

False. --Zero 01:30, 13 November 2006 (EST)

I really don't know what chance in hell this has of being true or not, but it's been bugging me for a while and I don't think it's ever been testing, and I personally do not have the means to test this so I am extending a plea for help. I have been thinking a lot lately about the odd fact that Bard seems to have an easier time landing spells like Silence than an RDM does despite the fact that for a bard this spell is coming from a sub job and at far less skill level than the RDM. I've been thinking that, since we know INT has no apparent effect at all on Magic Accuracy, and that MND is related to "Magic Evade" (resist rate), could it be possible that CHR is the stat that affects Magic Accuracy? It certainly seems like a very plausable reason why Bards can seemingly outdo RDMs despite the apparent odds being against them. I would really like to see this tested, maybe 2 RDMs one with a whole bunch of -CHR and the other with a whole bunch of +CHR (CHR is easy enough to get in very large quantities, I can see this being very feasable) and see what happens? Just a thought. --Toksyuryel 06:09, 21 January 2007 (EST)

The reason why Paladin may have CHR gear is because CHR helps resist bard songs and charm. Confirmed by interview with SE, http://ffxi.crgaming.com/interviews/viewinterview.asp?Id=272. Petco 05:36, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
