The real, true hero of the show
He has multiple girls into him despite being awkward at time, he has high Cha.
Yeah, he was a condescending sexist prick to the Kiyoshi warriors (initially), and while it did earn him some beatings, it didn’t get him a restraining order and he even got with Suki in the end. That’s high CHA alright.
I don’t know about you, but to me, the fact that he showed genuine humility and willingness to step beyond his initial chauvinism (after some hands-on lessons about fighting women) had a lot more to do with that than his charm.
Right? His main squeeze met him by kicking his ass over sexist comments. Classic Bard shit.
Meet enough people and there will be at least one who is into jerks.
Or maybe he’s just hot.
Thus giving him high Cha
If you should have learned one thing from feminism, it’s that charisma and physical attractiveness are not the same thing.
Pretty sure that’s not the one thing you should take away from feminism. Pretty sure it’s something about equality.
If you learned one thing from D&D, they are.
I get that this is a bit, but even in D&D charisma and attractiveness are different. Unless the elder brain is supposed to be sexy, then I need to rethink some things.
… You DON’T think widdle EB is HOT?
charisma is a function of multiple things, including how hot you are. sokka is hot enough to give him high charisma
@Redscare867 @Tolookah In D&D: CHA is “mental STR”, WIS is “mental CON”, and INT is “mental DEX”.
(not sure if this assertion should be followed by “fight me” or the “change my mind” meme, or what)
Or maybe he just met a lot of people.
And he throws metal the hard way.
Trying to defend being a massive Sokka simp, I see?
Depending on the person, being awkward can be charming and sweet.
His CHA was high enough that he kept rolling low and saying silly things and it still was good enough.
Like when the character is more charismatic than the player. “I don’t know what to say in this situation, but I rolled well!”
Let my socially awkward peeps play a bard if they want to, damn
I mean, yeah, that was my point.
The same thing happens with intelligence. D&D characters often have superhuman abilities, so you’ve got to just do your best with the roleplaying, but let interpretation and die rolls fill in the gaps.
On the contrary, if you keep trying then eventually you’ll roll a 20 no matter how low your CHA is. That’s good enough in circumstances where you do get to keep trying and you only need to succeed once. Sokka would keep trying while Zuko would refuse to risk looking like a fool.
That’s rough buddy.
We all praise Sokka, but let’s not forget that the live action actress of the princess got a dick haircut, the ultimate bard haircut.
