Every other stat have some reasoning behind it ... except Charisma.
Sometimes it seems to me a little like every race they (WotC) didt find any reason to have other stat bonuses, recedived Charisma as an compensation. laugh

So why should a Tiefling get +2 to Charisma?
Why not ... they just do, deal with it. laugh

I would assume that the Charisma bonus is because they come from a cut throat political society where you need to know how to talk and navigate society in order to not get dead. That's the explanation I can think of anyway. Or maybe there's some kind of inborn magic at play.
