[[File:Charisma Score Icon.png|frameless|left|150px]] '''Charisma''' is an [[ability score]]  and the primary ability of [[Bard]]s, [[Warlock]]s, and [[Sorcerer]]s.
Charisma affects its related skills ([[Deception]], [[Intimidation]], [[Performance]], [[Persuasion]]) and improves spellcasting for Bards, [[Paladin]]s, Warlocks and Sorcerers (better chance to hit enemies with spell attack rolls; increases the [[Difficulty Class]] of spells with [[saving throw]]s).

As of Early Access Patch 9, increasing one's Charisma ''Modifier'' also improves the prices offered by Traders (by increasing the Persuasion skill bonus).
