[QUOTE="GBDeluxe, post: 3424985, member: 5043"] This is the deal. Rolling up characters for a 1e campaign, using the "roll 4 dice, drop the lowest" for the abilities... I roll 4 freaking ones. What are the odds of that? Like... 1 in 1296? Anyway, since it was such an interesting roll... I decided to keep it and roleplay the disability. Since it's 1e, having such a low ability score in any category automatically limits you. Since I didn't want to do the "low strength / high intelligence" frail mage or the "high strength / low intelligence" brute fighter... I opted for Thief. This requires the low ability in Wisdom. I want to really play this character well - but I don't want it to become: a) comic relief, b) a total liability on the party (on myself, well I accept that, but I'm not looking the kill the character before level 2). So I figure we're looking at Chaotic Neutral for the alignment with a Wisdom so low. But a "3" is damn low... we're talking a tad above a gelatinous cube. It's certainly not simply explained by "careless attitude"... I would figure something would seriously have to be wrong with the character to have such a low score. Perhaps he has aspergers / autism? It seems it would almost go beyond being "suicidal" in nature. So... what would a character with a 3 in Wisdom be like? What could explain it? [/QUOTE]
