What ability set would be bad IRL?

[Nifft]

So, there's been threads about RPG abilities that would be good, or what D&D classes one would take IRL, but what about abilities that would be *bad* to spontaneously develop?

High intelligence is linked to a host of problems, from loneliness (from inability to communicate meaningfully with most people who are ~30 IQ points lower or higher) to madness (from seeing the horrible truth of the universe).

So any ability set with Int 20+ will arguably be bad IRL, especially if you pair it with Cha 8-.


In terms of a class that's bad, 3.5e Fist of the Forest would be pretty awful in a modern, civilized society.

Anything that made you look non-human could be troublesome, too.
