Sor & Cha

[Psionicist]

It has been pointed out before that the mental and physical stats are symetrical.

Str is to body what Chr is to mind
Con is to body what Wis is to mind
Dex is to body what Int is to mind

To me CHR is perfect for Sorc

En fin liten räbus det där.

I thought I was one of the few to notice this symmetry...but am glad others have seen this relationship as well!

I see Int and Dex as ability to respond to changes in the world and interact with the world as it changes

I think this is a very simple, solid way of viewing the stats.


I too see charisma as being one's ability to impose their will on others, and for me it is a logical step to say that is how sorcerers affect their environment, by imposing their will on reality. (differing from willpower in that is internal, and charisma is external.)

Hmmm. I'd never thought of it in that 'symmetry' light, but now you've pointed it out, that really does work for me.

Cool.
