Yes, that bonus does make a difference. The only bad thing is that their special abilities are dependent on Charisma, they need Wisdom for spells, then the regular stats for fighting in melee (Strength, Constitution). That's a lot of spreading around of points, which makes the character have to make some sacrifices due to the spreading of points.

Anyway, back to the subject. Anything that ups your Will save will help you with the Bodak. Potions of owl's wisdom help, so does the feat Iron Will, Ring of Resistance, etc. I was using a cleric when I met him, and I survived by simply sitting back and picking him off with missile weapons (had the summon go melee, while Tomi and I picked him off from a distance). The death gaze has a pretty short range.
