The dice determine success or failure, but your strategy can have different outcomes. If you're offering a bribe to the guard the DM has to figure out how much it costs you, wheras if you're telling him a dragon is attacking the south gate, he might be pretty pissed when he comes back.
And if you don't have "charisma" irl and have no idea either of the above are options...think about charismatic characters in books, movies, tv. What tactics did they use that you can crib?
