The Dumpstat
Every board or any RPG player who’s well-versed in minmaxing upon seeing a system with charisma will use it as a dump stat. So any GM should prepare for the fact that his party of adventurers will consist of some very disgusting looking individuals with very limited potential in making social contact.
Unless charisma really is used for something, but if it is, then it isn’t charisma anymore.

Charisma is force of personality - a mental stat. It’s not appearance. Low charisma means unassuming, introvert, shy.

Not necessarily. It depends on the version. Sometimes it says it includes appearance.
