Ability score of 18

[DeBracy]

Charisma all the way, baby

I didn't think long before I chose Cha - I'm a musician after all and although Dex might have me playing faster and more accurate I think music is about other things than technical savvy alone.

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Maybe it would be nice to have a high Charisma, but I think I prefer the high intelligence. I can still take cross class skills to improve diplomacy ...

Always Wisdom. I'm not particularly strong, dexterous or healthy, and I really don't care in the least what people think about me. I'm very smart, but what really allows me to be the happiest person I know and perform professionally/personally to a degree that I don't see anyone around me doing is a combination of will, self-control and perception. I can lift heavier objects than I'm physically capable of and work right through illnesses that are supposed to knock me out simply because I will myself to do so. It's all about the wisdom. Though having to lower it to an 18 would suck

I picked intelligence for me.

..and I picked dexterity for my woman

 

[Ahnehnois]

Wisdom. Is it more important that you have great abilities or that you know what to do with them? That's wisdom. Intelligence is the next mosy impotant.

I see that everyone realizes that physical abilities are unimportant in the 21st century. In D&D, there would probably be more dexterity votes. And less wisdom. Wonder if that's a sign of the times or a criticism of D&D.

I take Cha. If you can influence others, you can always have good people to do the other things for you. Unless you want to live life as a hermit.

 

[Ssyleia]

Charisma, of course.

You can have the best ideas in the world with your Int 18, but if you can't sell them profitably what's the use? Also, IMHO no matter how intelligent you are by yourself, being a good teamwork player gets you further...

As for wisdom, maybe you sleep better at night when you don't look at today's world with a Wis 18...

Con is important not to be less than average. A 12 is IMHO fine.

Dex shouldn't be less than average either so you don't spill your soft drink over expensive books and tech items all too often. Also less typos ;-)

Strength - well, I have a lot and I don't really have a use for it except for opening stuck jars. 10 would be fine.

 

[Ibram]

Wisdom for me... Cha lets you be the face man, Wis lets you be the real power.... besides then everyone would love me because I gave good advice.

 

[Jaws]

Constitution. Very easy choice for me. With my bad eyesight and hearing. And having to go through 5 years of dialysis and a kidney transplant.


Peace and smiles

charisma In today's society image is everything. Intelligence and wisdom are overrated. Having good social skills and a good image is much more important in many areas than being intelligent or wise. I've seen too many extremely intelligent people get rejected for jobs that went to dumb, yet charismatic people.
