[QUOTE="Silverblade The Ench, post: 4070117, member: 19083"] No, you'r talking about SMARTS, which is a combination of [I]both [/I] Int and Wis, and D&D doesn't cater for it ;) Me and another fella were top two students in high school, other fella was on top cause he was a whiz with maths and didn't have bum legs, but unlike myself, he couldn't do practical things, nor problem solve. He was a "classic nerd" I was a "big hairy nerdoid" :p But, after a point I found algebra becoming impossible even though I understood and liked it, because ability is not always simple (to me after a point algebra literally becomes unglued, frustrating as hell). My cousin's the other way around: brilliant at algebra and music, he preffers music by miles though. Smarts is having the drive to use your intelligence, the insight for "connecting the dots" etc, but it's still along certain paths..[I]all [/I] of us have our strengths and weaknesses. One person can think his way thorugh survivng a fire fight, but get messed up with organizing...another can deal wonderfully with life except, their love life...and so on. be nice if the 4th ed PHB could have a list of Quirks and Weaknesses to roll on for your chaarcater, hm? :) [/QUOTE]
