[QUOTE="mach1.9pants, post: 7072006, member: 55946"] The most important part of a special forces soldiers inborn abilities is not reaction times or intelligence. It's determination, mental fortitude to keep going when most would give up. Like me, that's why I flew in fighter jets, I'll stick with my air-conditioned bases! But Marines etc need to be mentally touch, and in DnD that's Wisdom! Having spent a lot of times with Royal Marines, wise is not something I would generally associate. But then again being wise also means your perceptive both visually/audibly and also socially. And none of that makes sense either. So what I'm trying to say is each stat covers a lot of ground.
