[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7877633, member: 7015476"] In an rp heavy game i find myself wondering what business any base class has having higher base potential for intellectual skills than the ACTUAL intellectual class, ie the wizard. It should have an inherent edge above at least any base class in int skills. Its the penultimate intellectual class after all. It makes no sense when your rogue or bard is able to have a casual or academic discussion on matters arcane, religious, or whatever (intellectual pursuits specifically) with the regional archmage better than the dedicated wizard purist. Thats wrong. Pure and simple. That is the time when the wizard should excel at interpersonal rp if his cha is not absolutely in the basement because unlike the rogue he will know enough to actually have that conversation (good cha and social skills are simply not enough in such a scenario. I should wonder that a rogue would even understand what sort of conversation hes having if it goes beyond the novice technical, theoretical, or knowledgeability level). And there are many others like it. [/QUOTE]
