So, I had a character idea, and I built it, and I've been playing with it... and I've realised that I kind of gave him the wrong mental stats for his personality. Overall, his stats go as follows:
Str: 10
Dex: 18
Con: 12
Int: 12
Wis: 14
Chr: 10
The game I'm playing is a pretty new one called Fantasy Craft, which is sorta similar to 3.5 (or at least, about as similar as Spycraft is to D20 modern, although they managed to avoid some of the overcomplications which I've found slow down play in Spycraft). My character's a "Burglar"; think of him as sorta a Rogue equivalent, albeit with some shifts in emphasis. (If you know the game, he's a "nimble human" with the "adventurer" speciality).
I gave him the Wis of 14 because I vaguely understood that you don't need as many skills in Fantasy Craft as you do in d20srd (lots of them have been combined, so that between the party of four we've pretty much got at least one character who's good at any given skill), and because Wis was the recommended second best in the book for this class, after Dex. However, the personality and background I've given my character don't really fit with having a Wis of 14 or a Chr as low as 10, and, I'm afraid, better fit my own high Int, low Wis personality. (He's a reckless, fun-loving, type who comes up with plans on the fly and quite likes showing off). How much does this matter, do you think?
