Suffering on persuasion, intimidation, and deception checks as ranger.

[50K]

Running a beast master ranger for the first time and I have absolutely no bonuses on any of my speech checks as I do when playing other classes for example with rogue I get an increase in deception speech checks but with my ranger I barely succeed even with save scumming is there anything I can do about this? Otherwise I am most likely going to just start over with a different class its not worth the suffering. My background is also out lander and I am playing as a wood elf if that helps I wanted to go with the theme of being a forest ranger.

Have one of your other party members do the conversation.

use a different character to talk if you dont have any cha skills.

[ChuckyDontCare]

You can respec with Withers to pick up some of those skills, but high Charisma drives the larger bonuses.

Would you recommend getting a skill proficiency feat or just ability increase and adding to charisma.

rangers don't get a choice of the cha based skills, respec wouldn't help.

My first playthrough was with a Druid with 12 Cha and zero face skills and I was able to pass most Charisma checks with relative ease thanks to Enhance Ability and Guidance.

There are items that can help you pass checks too, just swap them out when you don't need them.

Consider specing to Swords Bard using Bows if you want better Charisma checks. They’re strong with bows with their flourishes

Otherwise you can use Enhance Ability from Clerics or Bards to get advantage on charisma checks and guidance from clerics to get 1d4 on checks.

If you want easy going on that front go for Bard, Sorcerer or Paladin. You could also help yourself by having a Bard and Cleric in your party. That way they can support your Ranger with spells and you can keep playing that class.

This game really emphasizes using each character to their own strengths (yours included), it sounds like your custom guy just isn't the talker this time around

I just made a half-orc INT 8 CHA 8 Beast Master just to experience this 😆

Failing can be fun, and as suggested the smart player will use their individual team members to their strengths rather than their weaknesss

There is a mod for this. It's called UHMM. There is a Charisma-Skills only version too.

It basically makes it so that the party's bonuses are added to the modifier. So if you have, say, a Charismatic Paladin in the party... His/Her bonuses get added to any chars rolls.

I am running this in a co-op campaign as my friend the host is a Hunter with a -1 to basically all conversation rolls, while I'm a Paladin so... Yeah. I don't want to do all the conversations for him so this is a perfect solution.

Literally why I always play Sorcerer in DND based games. If I'm the leader of this pack of misfits, I do the talking.

My gith fighter is 14 charisma :D

I just can't stand the -1 on charisma that a 8 cha would net me.

Dialogue success is better than any thing.
