Your CHA is probably going to make no difference at all in your charming ability, since you're not an enchanter.

Yea other than chanter/bard it doesn't matter.

Not confirmed but 99% sure that CHA doesn't affect druid charm. Tested it for some time now on PoF Gorillas and it seems random.

Mob MR is the biggest factor, if you have any way of controlling that.

Charisma score does not affect druid or necromancer charm ability. Negative CHA does not increase a necromancer's charm chance. The best way to increase your charm duration with either DRU, SHM, or NEC is based on level difference and the mob's Magic Resist, so if you have an Enchanter in your group, have them cast Tash. Magicians and Shamen can malo to lower MR.

If you want to search the Allakhazam patch archive for evidence of charisma affecting druid charm, you can check http://everquest.allakhazam.com/history/patches.html . I couldn't find anything with some cursory searching.
