Would this be Low Wisdom or Low Charisma?
Person A is sleeping on the couch.
Person B comes charging into the room loudly. They turn on bright lights (because they are searching for something) and opening cabinets loudly. They know Person A is trying to sleep but aren't aware that their own actions are obnoxious.
It's greatly irritating to Person A since they think courtesy is common sense.
Person B is oblivious to Person A's annoyance.
------
So is Person B lacking in Wisdom or Charisma?
Wisdom has to do with perception but Charisma has to do with charming.
Could it be both?Last edited by BlueWitch; 2022-01-19 at 10:01 AM.

Re: Would this be Low Wisdom or Low Charisma?
Wisdom because Person B doesn't know they are being irritating.
High Charisma would mean Person A wouldn't find it annoying because they'd do it in a charming way.
Low Charisma means Person A would find a reason to be annoyed by person B even if they crept in like a mouse and tried super hard to not wake them up.
Note that Person A has low intelligence because if they had just gone and took a nap in their bedroom instead of in the couch in the common area where other people had things to do, they wouldn't have caused this situation in the first place

Low Wisdom on the part of Person A. What idiot sleeps in a room that's open to the kitchen? Do you not know that person B will need the kitchen at some point?

Re: Would this be Low Wisdom or Low Charisma?
It could be either or both.
Charisma isn't just being charming, it is understanding the other person's point of view. It is relating to other people.
Another poster said that a low charisma means you are annoying no matter how quiet you are, but it can also be that you are failing at judging how quiet you should be.

Wisdom, measuring perception and insight
Charisma, measuring force of personality
Wisdom provides the insight, Intelligence provides the complexity, and Charisma is the force of personality. But force of personality is not enough information to explain this aspect of mind since it is a third of D&Ds theory of mind.
Higher charisma means you are able to better able to modulate your emotional output with intensity but also the more graceful you are able to dexteriously move through the insight and complexity that wisdom and intelligence brings to ones attention. One can better able to play with these two things which are in tension below (not official D&D language)
- Emotions (E) is judgement of the infectiousness of expressions and emotional states, the appeal of a message or image and how someone will react emotionally. E is geared towards feelings and assesses situations based on how people feel, looking to convey one's emotions as authentically as possible, making communication exaggerated and charged with passion. In this sense, E is the opposite of Pragmatism. E approaches people in terms of how they are made to feel, provoking and changing people's emotions through expressive actions in order to raise excitement and enthusiasm. In this sense, is the inverse of Relations.
- Relations (R) is responsible for understanding the quality, nature, and appropriate distance of personal relations; makes subjective judgments; and aspires to goodness of character. R has a strong understanding of a person's nature and intentions, one person's feelings towards another, their attitudes of like or dislike, and based on this information, how intimate or distant a relationship should be.
Force of Personality (Charisma) notices when one is getting pushbacks from others in the relations part. They like or dislike you, and thus it can pivot and try different tactics. It may not understand why you are annoyed, or why you hate a person but it can still sense something is off even if other processes of mind (Wisdom and Intelligence) will explain why you are succeeding or failing.
Charisma can measure things like you are able to sense something is annoyed or this is super effective with getting desired result, but explaining why this black box did not get the desired outcome it intended to is about Wisdom and Intelligence.Last edited by Ramza00; 2022-01-21 at 10:53 AM.
