What was the old saying? Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom Is knowing not to bake it into a cake.wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad charisma is selling salsa

This post did not contain any content.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.

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.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.

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.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.

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

i like how according to this everyone just has a big stick stowed away somehere

I wish I were smart enough to think of it myself, but I heard it somewhere

Paladin doesn't use CHA with their god, they use it to lure the common people TO their god. So they gets more powah.Yeah the original description sounds more like a warlock. Which, what's the diff between a hexblade and a pally really

My prime example would be Donald Trump. Hideously looking and true evil while dumping strength, dexterity, constitution (unfortunately not enough), intelligence and wisdom, but he undeniably has at least an 18 in charisma.Tbh I don't really get why though. Clearly he's good at getting people to listen, but... why? Hitler was similar (except I'd say better looking) but listening to his speeches I at least get how he had crowds cheering. Trump could say things I agree with and I'd still not want to listen to him.
