charisma question...

if i chose the charlatans protoge background, i get +6 charisma, so does that mean that the cap for my charisma is 26? and if so, does that mean that i can get 6 max followers?

 

No, you just start at +6 charisma, with all the penalties, and it still caps at 20

 

:-o

 

Why are you surprised? Of course it caps at 20, unless if you have some sort of racial bonus.

 

i thought stats you get from background increase cap

 

By the gods, no.

Or, actually, sometimes they do. But then it's a question of decreasing the cap rather than increasing it. For example a character with the super model background can't score 20 in INT.

 

argh

 

Oh yes, of course.

 

ooooh ok ok i get it
