Charisma Damage - Cheap Shot

[Kancamagus Lightfoot]

Hi, one of the items obtainable with party favors is a longbow called “cheap shot”. It does charisma damage. What is the benefit of charisma damage and what kind of mobs would I use it against? Thank you.

I don't believe it has any real benefit outside of flavor.
Lots of stat damage can make a monster helpless, but cheap shot does very little, and I am not sure how much monsters stats are.

I would say if you hit a charisma based monster such as a enchantment attack against you causing hold person and such spelll to hit you they would fail from a degraded charisma shot or should anyway.

• Bluff, Diplomacy, Haggle, Intimidate, Perform, and Use Magic Device checks. These are the skills that have Charisma as their key ability. and would imagine they would be effected by a charisma reduction .
