Yes, but who needs to cast Friends? Since it's such a low-level spell, it gets dropped as a random treasure all the time, not to mention that you can buy it almost anywhere. So just buy a scroll for 50gp, cast it, and save 20,000 gp on whatever you're buying. Plus, if you run fast you can hit almost all the merchants worth buying from (Ribald Barterman, Diedre, Lady Yuth, Bernard, Joluv, Gaelan Bayle's house) before the Friends runs out.

Ring of Human Influence: Raises CHA to 18
Nymph Cloak: +2 to CHA
Helm of Glory (cannot be obtained if the PC is Evil): +1 to CHA
Blade of Roses: +2 to CHA
Plate of Balduran (requires Bonus Merchants): +1 to CHA
Sensate Amulet (can only be worn by Clerics, requires Bonus Merchants): +2 to CHA
Boots of the West (never found them): +1 to CHA

For a grand possible total of exactly 25, unless you're a Thief with Use Any Item, in which case you could get 27, which the game won't recognize.
