I tried this twice.

I have now uninstalled the game and reinstalling it fresh again to try one more time. I will update once the game is reinstalled again.

EDIT: Reinstalled the game and could reproduce the bug.

Happened to me too. Kinda feels like cheating

The only workaround now is to skip the tutorial, which I did.

I confirm. +37 to charm, and this is immediately getting level 4

Same issue, i ended up reinstalling the entire game thinking it was a lingering effect of banner tweaks turns out it is a base game bug probably added in one of the newer patches, only workaround is to skip the tutorial that i can find

Glad you followed my tests and confirmed thanks!

Just chiming in to say I have the same bug in a new game I started after today's patch. I thought maybe it was a mod problem and started a new game without mods and had the same thing happen in the tutorial. Best advice seems to be skip the tutorial until they fix it. Thanks for saving me from uninstalling/reinstalling!

Same. And my brother is having the same issue. Its unfortunate to skip the tutorial as its very jarring to the new game experience. Had hoped it would get fixed with today's update but no luck.

Same. Got it on new instalation on other computer.

I tested a few things, including skipping the tutorial and figured out what's happening.

You now gain Charm XP when you raise relations with village notables. In the tutorial, there's a large scripted relations boost with the tutorial Headsman of the village as soon as you talk to him - likely to enable you to recruit his whole stack for the rest of the tutorial missions. This boost is treated by the engine the same as any other, so you're getting Charm XP for it.

Enough for 39 points, if your starting from nothing being invested into charm or social during character creation.
