A thought about the Viewfinder characters

[javelle]

The collective wisdom scores of all three characters is a 6. When I'm feeling kind, that number goes up to 8, out of a possible 54.

Ah, I love demonstrations of the classic AD&D Int/Wis divide. (See also Vorkosigan, Miles.)

I think this came up because I kept seeing people calling the characters idiotic, except that they're not. They have not one bit of common sense to share between them, though.

I also began wondering about their other AD&D stats, they must have really good stats to compensate for such terrible wisdom stats...

[incandescens]

I think it's one of those classic ways of minimaxing a build; sell down on Wisdom, buy up on other stats...

Actually, I think the White Wolf attribute system works better for charisma, which I'm pretty sure that both Asami and Feilong maxed out on.

*looks at White Wolf character sheet*
Hmm. I wonder if 5 pips in appearance means that major or minor divine intervention was involved. XD

Depends which game you're playing. If it's _Exalted_, then being gorgeous is expected for a lot of heroes. ;)

[javelle]

Really! I've only played _Vampire_ and _Mage_, so I had no idea. Interesting.

Exalted is along the lines of high fantasy meets anime meets Tanith Lee meets mythic heroes meets anything else that can be thrown into the pot. Plenty of scope for bishonen, too. ;)
