Is charisma worth leveling?

Post by sillynipples »

All my attributes right now are at 37, but I've been told that charisma is pretty much useless. Should I keep eating charisma foods to keep my stats even, or should I focus on the more important attributes like str and int?

It's going to level whether you want it too or not because so many foods you need to eat have a Charisma component. :(

yeah, but should I do it on purpose? xD
Right now my stats are so low and I have so many resources that I can pretty much pick which stat I want to increase. A few fox wursts are 1 int point, 1 wild wilderness wurst is 1 psych point, etc...

Depends on if you want to be in a village or not.

I do. Villages tend to have more resources. I guess I'll keep leveling it then.

Don't bother, charisma is a dump stat. Authority upkeep is easy enough, and you'll get enough accidentally for combat.

You're at that lucky point right now where the foods you're eating provide enough FEP you don't have to worry about the bonuses. However, I want to caution you it won't last. Get used to keeping variety food around. This is where you start bumping stats you're not aiming for. It's counter-intuitive, but you eat less this way, so even if you get an odd point of Cha or Dex (or whatever), you're still ahead.

I wouldn't bother levelling charisma intentionally, unless you want to be the leader of a large battle group. I get enough (in my opinion) when i use DDD, trying to raise agility (grr).
