I always try to have my CHA score in the 10-15 range. That way, I'm approximately as persuasive as a battle-hardened leader of a strong party of adventurers would be, and also about as good-lookin' as whoever I'm romancing.
I tend to like the pentagon formation, as it's compact and puts a Tank nicely up in front. In my current game, the Ring of Human Influence is welded to Haer'Dalis (we haven't found many good rings yet), who is also the leader of the party and a mini-Tank protecting Jan and Nalia. (Jaheira and Anomen take the flanks.) Haerry naturally has 16 CHA, so going up to 18 isn't that drastic anyway. I don't mind having him as my Charismatic Leader, as he's got a nice voice (I don't think I could stand Anomen).
