They're all precise, and take patience and book-learning. So I'd play a low Int/high Wis player as unhurried, and maybe not so good at remembering things. He's more concerned with results than appearances. His gear is weathered but completely surviceable. Speak Language doesn't have a stat, but you get bonus languages based on Int. So, I'd draw the conclusion that a low Int character probably has a limited vocabulary. He speaks in simple sentences. Short words. His plans would be simple but effective. He'd rely on things he can see and understand, and would be wary of complex machinery or complicated language. Good example of low Int/High Wis hero: Han Solo. He's shrewd, and his natural abilities make him an excellent pilot, but he's not so good at Int based skills: witness the failed Disable Device check on the bunker door at Endor, any number of flubbed Repair (craft) checks, and his confusion about Leia and Luke at the end of Jedi.-z</blockquote>
