My character has an 18 strength.
DM) ok, roll dice to force the gate open.
My character has an 18 charisma.
DM) ok, it only works if you personally also have an 18 charisma and can act it out.
Always bothered me. Means that anyone who can't improv well is locked to low char characters.
Well playing dnd is a good low stakes way to improve.
Unless you are uncomfortable with the situation and it ruins the game for you, sure.
If roleplaying ruins the game for you, maybe a roleplaying game is not for you
There’s a major difference between “roll at least a 16 and you’ll have seduced the guard” and “seduce me to seduce the guard.”
Different people are comfortable with different things. If you’re fine seducing your DM, cool. But I certainly wouldn’t be.
Maybe charisma builds just aren't for you.
