Ogre SK Charisma?

[Rouh]

Hello,

Old school EQ'er, new to SoD. Creating my Ogre SK, and I have a question.

Reading the forums I've come across gripes from people being resisted a lot even on blue cons. Charisma apparently effects Resist chances on spells.

So the question, My Ogre SK with typically offensive based spells, with a base CHA (45 I think?), Is it going to be a complete waste? Am I typically going to be able to cast a damn thing?

Would like to know now when I've just created my character, so I can reroll if needed =)

Nah. 30ish CHA (45 vs 75) helps, but it's not the end of the world.

great

And undoubtedly there are items to help the CHA situation. =)

Thank's for the reply Wiz.

yeah resist changes dont affect sk's all that much methinx. One of the huge reasons there's probably so much griping about them is it's coming mostly from pure casters. Makes sense, they're gonna cast alot more spells than an sk, although from what I've seen so far the resists are actually kinder than the hit/miss rate lol. I'll have to use my sk spells a bit more and log it and compare w/my shammy when I get a chance. There's a 20 difference in their charisma (Froglock shammy at 60 or so, sk at like 85 lol), but then again it depends what you're casting on who I think too. All in all the changes are pretty balanced as I've been resisting alot of stuff, s'just that most of the time for xp you're going to want to take on yellows/reds if possible and you're not all that likely to resist their spells from what I've seen. Pick up a white caster and I have a decent resist actually.
