Make Charisma useful

Charisma needs more uses.
It's effect on quest rewards is unnoticeable, it's bonus to Authority is negligible, and Bonfires are a memory of the past (for most people at least).
Also I couldn't think of a single item which require Charisma when crafted.
It would be nice to have a real reason to raise it.

An option would be to link it to raising animals, farming, or gardening maybe?
Those are things that -right now- don't require any attributes.

I'd fix this first. The recurring problem in Haven is that something gets added, it's totally OP and people complain about it, then it gets nerfed to hell and nobody complains about it anymore, but it's useless now.
A slight boost wouldn't hurt, especially for the LP rewards that are awesome in the first few days and pretty bad in a well-developed world.

I think quest rewards are too random to find a good fix, but might be worth exploring.

I do like the idea of crafting and some other stuff going with charisma too.

Questing is not useless at all, it's just not something everyone gets to abuse now. If you really focus on questing and boosting your charisma you can get 20k xp rewards or a shitton of lp. If anything i think questing shouldnt be an incentivized mechanic but just a larpy past time.
