* '''Deconstructed''': Robert's rough manners and appearance [[FaceOfAThug leave him judged a brigand]]. His rescue of the unconscious princess gets him mistaken for her kidnapper, and [[PoorCommunicationKills his inability to convincingly explain]] causes him to wind up a HeroWithBadPublicity who [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom accidentally makes things far worse even while doing heroic deeds]].

* '''Played For Drama''': At the climax of the campaign Bob's playing in, the BigBad's sentient book needs to be read so it can be sealed away and prevent a cataclysm, but his Fighter's Charisma is so low (it being irrelevant to his build) the book won't let him read - and his other allies are incapacitated!

'''Basic Trope''': Skimping on a stat so you can use the points elsewhere.
* '''Straight''': While playing a TabletopRPG, Bob gives his warrior a low charisma score so he can afford more points in [[MightyGlacier strength and constitution]].
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob's fighter has the absolute maximum strength and minimum charisma, making him TheGrotesque with SuperStrength.
* '''Downplayed''': Bob takes a small penalty to charisma to give his fighter another point of strength.
* '''Justified''':
** Alice is playing a QuirkyBard so her character can take care of social skills while Bob protects her from physical dangers.
** Bob is playing a one-shot game devoted entirely to combat. His character wouldn't have a chance to use charisma-based skills even if he wanted to.
* '''Inverted''': OneStatToRuleThemAll
* '''Subverted''': Bob gives his character an average charisma score. While he won't be able to sway angry mobs with a winning smile, he can haggle down prices from time to time...
* '''Double Subverted''': ...But he lowers [[DumbMuscle his fighter's intelligence to below average]] because he doesn't have knowledge or [[MagicIsMental spellcasting abilities]].
* '''Parodied''': The show switches between the players at the table and the characters in action. While Bob's actor is handsome, "Robert the Bold" is played by the same actor with buck teeth and a horrible skin condition.
