[QUOTE="BobTheNob, post: 5955362, member: 82425"] Yea, I have a bit of trouble with the "Wisdom = Perception" thing. Sure, Wisdom gives you understanding of mens hearts and how to look into mens souls, which makes it a great stat for insight style perceptions. But how does that give me the ability to spot a trap? At a push I would say "Its instinctive, you can instinctively see it", and the ability to know a traps heart and soul helps me spot it...hang on, no it doesnt. Traps dont have hearts and souls! (except some fleshy demon traps...ahhh, thats just confusing!) I have always found intelligence to be a better fit for spotting and for searching. Whenever In doubt, I like to ask "What would jesus do?" After all, he is one of the wisest dudes that ever was, and he spotted HEAPS of trap in his time...hang on...no he didnt! (Well, maybe spiritual traps, but certainly not mechanical ones. You dont hear many people talking about "The poison dart at the wedding at Cana" or "The last supper where Jesus thwarted the pit trap under the table") [/QUOTE]
