> I'm not doubting that you met with Brad like you said. What I find hard to believe, perhaps a better term is accept, is that charisma has no affect on a mob's chance to resist your song. Based on what Brad told you, a 20 bard with 85 CHR has the same chance as a 20 bard with 105 CHR to put a 23 level mob to sleep.
> Perhaps I made the wrong assumption that high charisma indicated you were better at singing and playing your instrument. If high charisma's only reduces your chances of missing a note, I'm beginning to wish I hadn't put any extra starting points into it. That's something I could live with.

> I wonder if it works the same for enchanters, i.e. no change to mob resists but less chance for spell fizzles?
