Book smarts. As in: "The Seven Acolouthians hate the sun god Magnar because their father was the old sun god whom Magnar slew. They seek to slay him in turn, but there is only one place where an eternal being may be destroyed: the black monolith known as the Rock of Felstrom, where the Demiurge stood when it first created the world. So their plan must involve getting Magnar back to the Rock in some way. There is an Eighth Acolouthian, Mesonyktikon, their half-brother by the god of darkness, who opposes their designs. His ultimate motives are as obscure as his father's, but he may nevertheless be helpful."Compare to: "There are seven or eight powerful tieflings running around messing with the sun god's cult for some reason."This is only true if "Asking people nicely to help you with your quest" constitutes "manipulation".This is true. But the same can be said of any ability score: 8 is "slightly below average" for all of them.That weirdo in the 7-11 who tried to smell you that one time? That was a "functional adult".</blockquote>
