Charisma

Charisma is one of the Primary Statistics in the SPECIAL character system. It represents combination of appearance and charm. A high Charisma is important for characters that want to influence people with words. Modifies NPC reactions, and Barter prices.

Modifies: Speech and Barter skills

Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics
In Fallout 2, Charisma also determines the number of base companion slots your character is given. This number is equal to your charisma score divided by two.

Predesigned Primary Charisma-based Characters (PPCC) of Fallout are Albert, and in Fallout 2's case, Chitsa.

Having a high CH female will change Myron's dialogue trees to a sexual tone.

Fallout 3
Charisma increases the disposition of all NPCs, which makes speech checks easier. Disposition is also affected somewhat by karma (most NPCs like good characters more), quests (doing a quest in a way an NPC likes can dramatically boost disposition), and dialog options (being a jerk in conversations can lower disposition a little). Charisma also affects the Barter and Speech skills. Characters who use speech will want at least a decent charisma, but characters who do not use the speech skill have little use for this SPECIAL score.
