    Charisma is essentially Social Skills. Social Skills definitely help you get laid, but also convince a shopkeeper to give you a discount, persuade a guard to look the other way, etc.

    Not really. It's more broad and includes it's original meaning of divine grace or presence. Why would sorcerer's spellcasting ability be charisma? It's broader than social charisma since sorcerer's cast with their innate abilities.

      Wisdom is such a weird attribute in ttrpgs, it is often overloaded with the concept of perception. But at the same time I don't necessarily think it should be split to it's own thing, more attributes aren't necessarily better.

        10 is average for an adventuring hero. Not necessarily for most "civilians" if you want to call them that.

        Incorrect, 10 is the average for the average human.

          I was like "do I?" And looked around my room for the first thing I could use as an improvised club and my eyes landed on a sex toy.

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

            Isn't high int a scholar (knowledge), high wis a smartie and high char a talker (merchant / politician)? Unintuitive but makes sense imo.

              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.

                What was the old saying? Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom Is knowing not to bake it into a cake.

                        CHA is knowing what to say to get what you want. A paladin uses CHA because they have to know exactly what to say to their deity to get the result they need. If they can't rizz up their gods, they get no power.

                          I think fallout's S.P.E.C.I.A.L works quite well. Wisdom isn't a thing by itself, it's split between perception, charisma, and intelligence, for the most part.

                            Hey, I’m all for nostalgia, but reordering it to separate the physical stats from the mental ones was a very good idea. I’m pretty sure my first game back when I was… 10? (long time ago)… also used the Str Int Wis order. But you know… that order got changed REAL fast… 2e, iirc. And good riddance.

                                Wasn't it copper-silver-electrum-gold-platinum? That would be the order of value as I remember it but I haven't looked at the boxed stuff in years.

                                    Intelligence is being able to describe why rain exists and why it is raining. Wisdom is understanding that you can do the above while not standing in a rainstorm

                                        I attribute it like the line, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should." Just because someome is brainy and knows a lot of specialized facts doesn't mean they'll always make wise decisions.

                                          Paladin doesn't use CHA with their god, they use it to lure the common people TO their god. So they gets more powah.
