[QUOTE="Primitive Screwhead, post: 5390118, member: 20805"] Indeed the stats refer to a ton of things, which is one reason why tying a roleplaying marker to a specific score is difficult. But I disagree with some of what you stated, to me its as simple as: Int = what you know and ability to learn Wis = how well you can apply what you know to the external environment Chr = how well you can control yourself in an attempt to alter anothers behaviour. Which of course also means being aware of how the other perceives you. Street smarts under these definitions is primarily Wis, taking what you know and applying it to the circumstances at hand. Intimidate would be Chr based as you are taking what you can perceive of the others view of you and adjusting your actions to alter thier perception...either by waving a fist under thier nose or muttering arcane words... what matters is judging how they view your actions and guessing how they will react None of these have anything to do with looks. I would almost rather an additional stat of Comeliness be brought in that is rolled by itself to cover that concern, or leave it up to the player to decide how 'pretty' the character is. Idiot Savants would be high INT, low Wis and Chr. Thugs could be any range of stats, but would tend to be low WIS as they tend to have a shorter view of future consequences. I still can't find those tables... :( [/QUOTE]
