He is a hellraiser, but fairly book-smart (greatmum Gurda, actually Aunt, was a world-wise half-orc adventurer who took him under her wing and taught him many things about the wide world) fairly dexterous and not ugly to look at, and fights like a master swordsman with scythe, morningstar, and sword, but he is a street-smart as a STUMP. His wisdom is 6, and it's become a group fun activity to watch him make a will save, or a spot check, because he can sometimes make below a 0 if it's a poor roll. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> He has:-wished the rogue good luck while he snuck past a guard-accused the party elf of cannibalism due to a blown sense motive check-trusted a 13-year old boy who would sell his own grandmother for profit-came close to destroying a 200-year old Katana to make a pointand a host of other activities that has both ticked off the party and endeared him to them at the same time. The fact is, my portrayal of stump-boy's wisdom has entertained the players as much as his combat ability has helped the party.</blockquote>
