Melee class meaning Fighter?

It’s harder to Fighter to have high Charisma since they will be focusing on Cons and Str/Dex.

Since this game is a proper RPG, there are a lot of checks and quest resolutions hide behind Persuasion/Deception checks.

That being said you can always save scum to pass these checks. And being a DnD games mean even if you have low charisma, you don’t necessarily locked out of option, it’s just harder to get it.

Charisma is my worst attribute as a Monk and I still lead the way to do every dialogue check.

Hasn't been a problem at all because Monks have their own unique responses.

Not every dialogue check requires Charisma. There's such a wide variety of mechanics going on that it doesn't matter.

Just go for it.

Speak, no matter what your attributes are.

Paladin is THE Charisma Melee.

Warlock can also go Blade Pact.

Valor or Sword Bard maybe?

I am playing sorcerer for the first time now, and I can tell having charisma as your primary is so sick. Add some lying ability to him as well and you can fool literally anyone in the game with some support

Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue, Paladin, Some Druids, Cleric, Warlocks, War and Blade Bard.. Lots 'o melee capable classes.

Personally playing a Semi-Melee Warlock, murdering stuff with Armour of Agathys, and Free Mage Armour from my Patron <3

I really like that they give you class based responses to circumvent not all classes will have Charisma and Persuasion.
