That's another thing that Brad told us last night. Charisma has nothing to
do with MOB's resisting magic.

Good Journey,

8)The staff is 9/33 (.272 ratio), and it procs a 48 DD spell
8)that's rarely
8)resisted. In my case (126 dex) it procs ALOT, i've had
8)fights where I got 4
8)or 5 procs in one fight. Even without the proc, the weapon
8)ranks up there
8)with a silvery war axe or ashenwood spear. The only weapons
8)you'll see
8)replacing these are alot harder to get. (Tishan Orb,
8)Crystalline Sword,
8)DragonBone Hammer, Runed Falchion, EBW, Ykesha, GP Koshig)
8)
8)As for the -9 CHA, I'm always partied with a shaman or
8)enchanter who can
8)buff CHA. I notice a few more resists especially when I'm
8)not buffed, but I
8)wonder if it's really making that much of a difference or I'm
8)just being
8)more sensitive to it. None the less, the shaman also makes
8)CHA potions for
8)me when neither of them are around. So usually my CHA's 100+
8)
8)I traded a pair of crafted gauntlets for it, probably the
8)best trade I've
8)gotten in game yet.
