Out of Character: , Aliana doesn't need to worry too much, Lukas isn't quite as invested in the reward as she, but he is aware of that possibility, and is not saying more than needful at the moment. He is however thinking that word of an ambush site that may be gone in a week won't be enough. He's hoping the captive will cough up their main camp.
Out of Character: I think I'll let Aliana field this one. One not immediately realized disadvantage of having 'extreme introvert' as a character flaw is he doesn't like to talk nearly as often as I like to post .

Out of Character: Yea, I trying to play a Charisma mod of -1 and mostly I let that mean that he isn't even average looking, but I think it should also affect his personality and make him conscientious of his social surroundings, but that is difficult for me. I also think that is part of the 'fun' of Dungeons & Dragons is playing someone who is so unlike you that you have to stretch yourself and work around their shortcomings.

Out of Character: Oh I certainly agree, but I'm starting to think I should save the autism spectrum character concept for an in person campaign. It is easier to portray odd vocal patterns that way, and his reluctance to speak won't be a potential hindrance to gameplay flow in that medium.
I've already backed off on his speech impediments a little for that reason. It might pay off to switch over to portraying his low charisma as being more talkative, but in a gruff and condescending tone, while keeping the Deutschland accent. That would also fit his personality, as he tends to be a rather detached and critical of the world. What do you guys think?

Out of Character: I understand. I would say that keeping progress and continuity in the game is more important than strictly sticking to a character affect (Though there are of course some who would disagree). Playing low Charisma as socially abrasive works as well as trying to play him socially inept. I say go for it. Characters tend to develop on their own, once they are dropped into the game.
Out of Character: : All three of us have characters with low charisma. I'm playing Aliana as interacting normally. She is an evil self serving character. I play her low charisma as many times her coldness shows through even though she tries to smile and act innocent.
I like that idea Daishain. It would fit his concept and might be easier to portray in pbt role play.
