I want to make a rogue. And need some build advice.
This guide recommends going full batshit on charisma and persuade, like 16 char and constant persuade pumping. No other guide or thread I found anywhere even considered more than 8 char. The linked guide is rather ancient (2002) but I kinda like the idea of a silver tongued cutthroat. The question is: how much will it matter in NWN OC? Does high charisma really affect anything?
Life of a cuttthroat and OC
I can't really agree with that guide.
The biggest thing it will affect is your appraising. Persuade.. not so much in the NWN OC. There a bit more use of Diplomacy in NWN2, but you still have to wade through a lot of enemies either way. I'd give you advise on builds, but my NWN knowledge isn't what it used to be. I mix up a lot of feats and and mechanics from NWN2.
I would choose a class that has a more direct benefit from Charisma in combat. If memory serves, in NWN1 the RDD for example has unlimited use of the dragon breath attack (in NWN2 you only get 1 use per day). Charisma is very important in that attack roll, so you can really go wild on it. I think the RDD also has persuade as a class skill.

There are items with high charisma boost. Some of the henchman quests give iirc a +5 item and a +4 (with regen) item for a total of +9.. iirc

Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.
