I may have missed this but doesn't Leadership give your characters an advantage in combat as long as the leader is in sight? I also thought that Charisma boosted your number of points in the Scissors-Rock-Paper game (except for that bl**dy woman by the second pyramid in Cyseal), so there was a reason to boost that, if you want to avoid the reload until you win. In fact, that goes for many of those skills - yes, you can reload until you win, but you might want to roleplay or get through things a bit quicker.
