    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.

      Edit: I stand corrected. Must have confused it with some other system or an older edition.

      Incorrect, 10 is the average for the average human.

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

        edit: wait now that i looked again, those are the exact stats for a fist in pf2e if you were level 0 and trained in unarmed attacks

        assuming dnd fists work similarly, why didn’t they just put in a fist instead of a club?

        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?

            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.

              Int is knowing what you’re talking about

              Wis is knowing when to talk

              Cha is when people listen to you

              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.

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

                                          edit: wait now that i looked again, those are the exact stats for a fist in pf2e if you were level 0 and trained in unarmed attacks

                                          assuming dnd fists work similarly, why didn’t they just put in a fist instead of a club?

                                          Because DnD fists do 1 + STR damage, no dice at all.
