Charisma

Charisma is the fourth of the seven Specials a character can have a set amount of points in. Charisma is important, if you want to receive stronger Boosts from your Leader, which can be literally anything, from having more HP, Run Faster, or even receive more XP! Charisma also increases the Resistance against Suppressive Fire, allowing you to be suppressed less often. Unexpectedly Charisma is NOT important to give out boosts as a Leader! The Leader character is free to skip Charisma, though he will still need high Charisma to benefit from his own boosts!

Each point of Charisma adds

• Higher Strength of Leadership Boosts. More at lower levels, less at higher.
• +5% Suppression Resistance

Additionally, each point of Charisma raises the following starting value of Skills:

• +4% Leadership
