So all conversations/dialogue are CHA bound. Is this due to how dnd5e? To me can't Larian make their own house rule?
Wouldn't it be better that:
- CHA helps on PERSUASION
- STR helps on INTIMIDATION
- DEX helps on DECEPTION
- WIS there seems to be already WIS based options so no changes required
- INT checks on outsmart options perhaps?
That way you don't miss out dialogue options and it's not locked out to CHA exclusively.
Dex helping on deception doesn't seem to make sense to me. Dex would be used for more sleight of hand things, like placing things in people's pockets (or removing them). They could allow for STR to be used rather than CHA when the intimidation check involves physical threats.
The thing is that CHA is basically the "conversation stat". There are individual checks that you could come up with for int, wis, etc. but overall, when it comes to conversation, most of the time it's charisma. The other stats have other out-of-combat uses (strength for jumping to new areas, dex for pickpocketing.) The problem is that in BG3, conversation is WAY more important than any of those other out of combat use of other stats, some of which just don't get that many out-of-combat checks at all.
