When you try to hit on someone but your charisma is −5.
literally me except the hitting on someone part
Being a shitty warlock is a hard life.
-5 score, or -5 modifier?
score
Yes
Scores cannot be negative
You never met me
Which makes for the fun for ages 4–99, hyperbole
Not many 4 year old are interested with role play games in my circle. I also feel they'd be hard to DM/GM for
Depends on the game.
Indeed. In Palladium games there isn't ability damage at all
In 1st ed comeliness can be negative. Down to -30 iirc.
In 3.5 wacky stuff happened (like dying or falling into a coma) when they drop to 0. I don't remember if negative scores were possible then.
In 3.5 if you're on a Con score of 3 (-4 modifier) and take 5 points of fort damage your Con reduces to zero and you're dead. 0 means you have no ability in that attribute
According to the d20srd ability damage section
You pretty much end up either dead or helpless when an attribute goes to zero
But we have a perfect example of DM fiat here.
