[QUOTE="Jay Verkuilen, post: 7742517, member: 6873517"] As I recall, he wrote those at the end of his life. The game doesn't really support gaining a substantial amount of Wisdom but I think that would fit well with the story. His early life was in the pursuit of being the ultimate warrior seemingly at the exclusion of all else, but at the end he turned to reflection. Of course, if you want him to be more wise, the Kensai Monk would be a good choice---in fact I suspect that might be a better build than Samurai. Edit: From refreshing my memory, evidently he practiced other "arts" throughout his life, so my recollection of "his early life was in the pursuit of being the ultimate warrior seemingly at the exclusion of all else" is wrong although it seems hard to separate fact from legend with Musashi, and many other historical figures. So he should certainly have skill in Perform, for instance. Whether he's the most amazing natural talent at it in the world, as represented by a high stat, isn't necessary, although he seemed to be notable. So maybe Wis 9 seems too low. [/QUOTE]
