    Who else already knows everything about ability scores and is only watching this for Matt?

    My first thought when he mentioned not to worry about low scores, a certain line from an early episode of Campaign 1. "I 'ave an intelligence of six, I fink I know what I'm doin'."

    The difference between Intelligence and Wisdom is the difference between knowing if a plant is poisonous and knowing if the person who told you that is lying to you.

    ONE THING no one can explain in a way that it actually makes sense: WHY can a wizard only remember a certain amount of spells per day? it is by far the worst system regarding magic. not to mention the weird names for some spells. plus you do not need corpses for necromancy. in all the other regards we can talk about if it actually IS a good system.

    Matt's charisma score would be one thousand.

    My cleric has a wisdom of 18 and an intelligence of 6. Honestly, she does some stupid things, but sometimes comes up with philosophical things to say. Whenever someone gets hurt she yells out, "Don't worry I'll heal you in a second!"

    Don't be afraid of low scores. If you're going to fail at something, you might as well fail spectacularly.

    Intelligence: "This is a one-way street"

    My favorite way to explain the difference between Intellegence and Wisdom:

    "Weaknesses often make for memorable story points."

    If someone is worried about a low score, just remember grog had 6 intelligence and vex had 7 strength

  • @Quadraxis

    One thing I've learning is to think about the three mental stats; Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma, as a pond.

    I remember Stephen Colbert discussed rolling stats "back in the day."

    All hail the negative ability score, especially when it comes to strength. It makes for some funny moments if your playing a wizard whose has literally never lifted some thing heavier than a sack of potatoes.
