Yes, and if you do take the time to read that to find out that 200 cha is 500% less likely to get a crit lull veruses 95 charisma and still don't think you should max charisma you should just quit EQ.

Take it easy and remember we’re all trying to advise new players here, not “win” an internet argument. And I do understand the value of charisma; I just don’t prioritize it over other stats.
It’s true that 200 versus 95 charisma makes you 1/5 as likely to get a crit resist. Just remember that if lull is not resisted, there is no chance at all of a crit resist. Level is the determining factor in whether lull is resisted and the charisma check comes afterward. If you don’t lull yellow mobs, you’ll do fine.
Secondly, that’s a difference of 105 charisma. That’s a lot different from 25 cha points, 2 opallines, a 9-cha medallion, and a few other charisma items. 105 cha means we’re building the whole bard for charisma. I personally wouldn’t do this. Perhaps other bards would.
Third, lulling is only one of the things we spend time doing. If we gear our bard for charisma, we’re not gearing for hp, resists, and ac. I believe we make use of hp more frequently. Plus, once we hit 60, we’ll rarely do any lulling at all. Then one might wish one had put 25 points in stamina.
That’s why, even though I understand the value or charisma, I do not place it above the value of stamina or even strength. I have shared some posts and stated my own views; I think OP can judge for himself.
