After building your muscles to a good level, even day to day physical activities will keep them from degrading that far.I could see it if you had had a bad bout with cancer or something though.I never said that they where the only things that where important. Perception measures your ability to notice things, which you do VERY well. Wits is the measure of how long it takes you to react to something. You also do this VERY well. Intelligence measures how good your response is.With your stats, you are VERY good at realizing something is wrong, but have no clue as to handle it.Myopic? Maybe he is. Qadir is very physical. While he would respect other forms of combat, such as magic, your low charisma isn't capable of convencing him to change his opinion. If he spends any time around you, he will realize you are incapable of formulating any real tactics as well.I don't care if they can't defend themselves physically. That isn't the point at all. They didn't come from a background as a martial artist and bodyguard. I get the impression that as a hunter, he used his physical abilities. He went straight from being a hunter to the embrace right? Muscles do not deteriorate after the Embrace.My point is that I can't see your body atrophying so much in such a short period of time. He was obviously in good shape for a while and, short of sickness, your body will not break down that fast. Normal everyday movement will keep you above a strength of 1 for a long time if you where ever in fairly good shape (2 or 3).Maybe I just missed it, I admit I didn't follow the bickering earlier too close, but when did we throw realism to the curb? I don't have a problem with suspending disbelief for a little while, this is a game about vampires after all.The problem arrises when you start having to roll dice. You are simply incapable of doing many of the things that your background would suggest you would be at least fairly good at.As it stands, you aren't able to do that. You are incapable of formulating detailed plans. You will almost certainly realize that you are in danger. You will even be able to react to it VERY quickly. But you want know HOW to effectivly react.</blockquote>
