Ok, here is my point: being able to crush a neck is strength. Being believable that you will crush your victim's neck is charisma. Of course you can torture someone. that is strength. threatening someone with torture is charisma. You have to be believable to be threatening. And that's charisma.

My beginner opinion (I'm in the middle of my first campaign ever) is...that doesn't make sense. Big muscles are a weapon and if someone is threatening me with a weapon, being scared has nothing to do with their charm.

Like would you be more threatened by the 140lb doorman with charm or the 240lb bouncer who just glares at you?

Just have them roll a strength based intimidation check.

How threatening is some big muscled guy with a high pitched voice?
