wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad charisma is selling salsa

I have never seen Intelligence contrasted with Wisdom in a way that felt fitting. Does an intelligent person not know when not to speak?

One of the things I liked about the Chronicles of Darkness system is it cleared this up nicely. Stats were in a 3x3 grid. One axis was physical, mental, social The other was Power, Finesse, Resistance. Want to shove something? Physical + Power. That's strength. Want to figure out a riddle? Mental + Finesse. That's Dexterity. Command attention? Social + Power. That's the Presence stat. Lie and misdirect? Social + Finesse. Stat was called Manipulation. Now you can have a character that's commanding without also being a natural liar and flirt. DND doesn't help let you do that because the concepts are bundled together into a single stat. (You could invest separately into like Expression for making speeches and Deception for lying, of course) Humans are rated 1 to 5, where a 5 is the peak of human capability. Presence 5 is like AAA movie stars and great leaders. Of course, if you add supernaturals to your game a starting chump vampire could have **seven** presence if they take Majesty as their power, and become a nearly irresistible magnet of attention.

> Want to figure out a riddle? Mental + Finesse. That’s Dexterity. Wait, wouldn't it make sense to figure out a riddle with Intelligence? And for Dexterity to be Physical + Finesse?Riddles are often lateral thinking or other cleverness, so they seem more finesse than power. But yes, I wrote "dexterity" when I meant "Wits".

Those are SO not in the order I remember back when I used to pay. It was: STR\ INT\ WIS\ DEX\ CON\ CHA. As an added bonus, I remember the coin on the character sheets as being: Gold\ Silver\ Copper\ Platinum\ Electrum Probably helps to know I played in the late 70’s when campaigns like Keep on the Borderlands was a new thing and came in a box.
