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.
