[QUOTE="A'koss, post: 806895, member: 840"] Heh, heh, heh... :D Your opinion is so noted. ;) The rules still need to be thoroughly playtested but our group is definitely liking the direction they're heading. We're thinking of broadening the ability out into roleplaying situations as well (without tripping on other skills hopefully). An intelligent character trying to gain the favor of the king might observe something about the king himself that may be helpful - shared hobby, dislike for grubby mercenaries, etc. It's still up to the character to do something with that information. A wise character trying to gain favor with the king might notice that the Queen's chambermaid is the best route. She has the ear of the Queen, and through the Queen, the King... Now it's time to get Mr. Charisma to go to work. The intelligent man sees a problem and tries to analyze it directly (looking for the weakness), the wise man looks for path of least resistance, which isn't always the most direct one. If you've got both, you're very dangerous - you know the best route to achieve your goals (Wis) and the means to realize every step (Int). A'koss! [/QUOTE]
