How to play a Conjurer - Very High INT, Very Low WIS

[Keeper of Secrets]

He might be partially derranged, have hair brained schemes or may even be like Wile E Coyote.

Think of the character portrayed by Robin Williams in the Disney movie "Flubber". That is a High Int, Low Wis character.

Alienists with low wisdom are a danger to the entire multiverse. The character should be fleeing in terror from lawful aligned outsiders that have decided his continued existance is in direct opposition to "The needs of the Many"

It's not the low wisdom that is the problem since 6 isn't that far down the bell-curve, it is the bloody godlike intelligence that is hard to RP. 27? This alienist is clever enough that s/he can pick up a set of masterwork tools and make any masterwork weapon or armor in the book /without training/. IE: "I saw a katana once. I can do better." And 6 weeks later you've got a hattori hanzo sword. That is pretty radical.
Suggestions: Put at least one rank into every single int based skill which requires training, and play the character as a leonardo da vinci type: Very good at everything that catches hir attention, but not very focused on anything because everything catches hir attention.

Extraordinarily impatient. Can't understand why others don't see his, obiviously correct, point of view. Godlike intelligence coupled with low wisdom would mean that he has trouble relating his ideas to 'normal' people, and would get angry when they don't understand immediately.

Albert Einstein was a classic example of high int, low wis. A certified super genius, he needed a minder: someone to follow him around and take him in when it rained.

This conjurer is the guy who thinks NOTHING of calling Azathoth from the far realms because he wants to know more about Nyarlathotep, or summon Cthulhu from the depths because he has questions about the structure of the city of Ry'lyeh; However, his high INT means he knows how to control them for the time being. He's impulsive to a fault, not thinking through his actions all the way.

I've played a WIS 6 fighter in a recent campaign, and it was FUN. He'd shout and wish the halfling Rogue "GOOD LUCK" just befopre he'd sneak in someplace; he'd tell someone what he thought of them even when it was disadvantageous to do so. He'd also follow his heart more often than not, and do what he thought was right. You know the phrase, "Fools rush in where Solars fear to tread?" That's this guy.

Low charisma would be having dificulty in relating your ideas not low wisdom. Low wisdom would be difficulty in understanding why people don't agree with your ideas.

The reason Einstien might have had some difficulty relating his ideas to others is that he saw the world differently, he saw the world at how it fundamentally works which IMO is high wisdom.

Low wisdom means lyou suffer from a lack of will power, perception, you are easily decieved and you lack common sense.
