Faerun is beset by autistic savants! What other explanation can there be for characters wondering around with 3 charisma? As stats are generated by rolling 4d6 and discounting the lowest, the proportion of people who have 3 charisma must be equal to the chances of rolling 4 '1's on 4 dice. To look at it another way, if you took a sample of 1296 people at random, your 25\18\18\18\18\3 character would be the least charming among them. If your character lived in a city of 10000 people, only 7 would have poorer social skills. At a dinner party with 216 guests, your character would take the last profita roll and then wet their keks.
