My bestie had a character who only had a +1 in Charisma, but this was the highest in the party, so she became the party face. And she never rolled lower than 19 total when making Charisma checks for that character. The dice clearly had plans.

Or when the awkward friend wants to play a bard and the butterfly plays a fighter with CHA as a dump stat, then becomes the face anyways because they love roleplaying and can manipulate the GM IRL

I was once GMing for that same bestie in a 3d6-based system. I told her to roll, then realised her stats weren't high enough for her to succeed, so told her not to. She gave me a look, picked up the dice, and rolled a crit. Out of SPITE. And this is 3d6, so it's a 1 in 216 chance.

She didn't need to manipulate me. Either I went along with it, or my dice would be forever cursed.
