Anything below 10 is below average, right? That means nine is below-average looking. Eight is fairly unattractive. Seven is ugly. Five is someone you don't want to look directly at. By three, I doubt anybody would join your party. You'd have commoners running at the mere sight of you, and Knights of the Radiant Heart "attacking the demonspawn" every chance they get.

I care more about roleplaying than stats... and it irritates me when someone wants to give themselves an irrational stat from a roleplaying perspective to make their character 'better.' How's a character with a Charisma of 3 going to get any quests at all? Who'll assign them? Who'll entrust a character like that with any kind of task? Remember, Charisma not only applies to looks, but force of personality. Someone with a Charisma of 3 would not only be ugly, but seem... wrong. Not trustworthy. Surely off-putting.
