[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 2340097, member: 14506"] I am going to attempt to destroy your arguments... Well here is where this argument falls apart: Fortitude has nothing to do with endurance! It is the ability to resist effects such as poison, disease, form altering magics and death magics. Now how could strength be important to that? Well, you are more dense, you are likely larger do to your strength. Well, the ability to think fast is tantamount to the ability of quickness. For instance, basketball players who dont have the mental game are not as good or as quick as those who are quick of wit and thought. Also, Reflexes are not just a matter of reacting, it is a matter of reacting well. An example, Hum Dumb the fighter is fast, likely the most dexterous fighter ever. One problem, he is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He is out one day in a sparse forest. A wizard flys by and fireballs him, in a split second he jumps to dodge the blast very quickly. Only problem was since he is not very bright he dodged behind a bush instead of the solid oak tree, he failed his save and took full damage. Ok, so a smart person instinctively knows more about where they should dodge.Oh, this one is easy. I assume you agree that wisdom is aplicable. Force of personality or charisma is also. Force of personality in my view is the ability to attach yourself to a view and argue its points without concedeing its point, even if only a minor point. Oh, and to do it with style so as to leave the opposed convinced and not bitter. Is it easier or harder to convince a politician who is rooted in their beliefs to switch their veiws to an opposing side? Or is it easier to have someone who does not have a strong force of personality to switch sides on an argument? So, when a Dominate Person spell is cast and they get a save to break it by them being forced to do something contrary to their views. The person with higher charisma would have a better chance to break it than someone with low charisma. Any other stat ideas, I have some more, I'll post them later I suppose... Sadrik [/QUOTE]
