Strong as an Ox

"You're as strong as an ox and as wise as an owl." Sure you say that but how does that translate to strength, intelligence, and wisdom? Easy, look it up on the charts below and see how your PC stacks up with some common and not so common denizens of the Pathfinder world. The stats below come from the Bestiary, NPC Codex, and Iconic PCs of Pathfinder.

Mental Attributes

Intelligence: determines how well you learn, remember, and reason; Animals have instinctual intelligence of 1-2. It is a key ability to wizards, witches, and other spellcasters.

INT 5-7: dull-witted and slow; 11-12 tend to pick up ideas quickly and learn new ideas easily; 13-14 can solve problems quickly often without thinking; 15-16 are exceptionally intelligent and cleaver; 17-18 are genius level characters, naturally brilliant.

Charisma: Measures a players personality, personal magnetism, ability to lead, and appearance and is important to sorcerers, paladins, and bards as well as clerics to channel energy. Undead use Charisma to measure their "lifeforce." Keep in mind that appearance and personality are not always linked by low scores- it is possible for a player with a Cha 8 to be beautiful but haughty (like Cinderella's step sisters: "beautiful of face but vile and black of heart")

• Checks to influence others
• Channel Energy DCs for clerics & paladins
• Skills: Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Perform, & Use Magic Device

• Appearance- Ugly scar, unattractive, ghastly, homely (average level looks)
• Scars (optional) Minor (interesting conversation starter); Moderate scar on face (+1 Intimidate); Major scar on face (+2 Intimidate); bonus = to penalty from CHA modifier- it doesn't cancel out the - modifier, it replaces it (Example: Max the Barbarian has CHA 7 partially because he has a large scar across his face but also because he smells and is bad tempered. He takes a -2 on all CHA skills except Intimidate where he takes a +2)
• High Scores: Adaptable, social chameleon, humble, proud, dignified, noble, chummy, gregarious, selfless, congenial, charming,
• Appearance: Attractive, handsome, beautiful, alluring, bewitching, beguiling, comely, fair, pretty...

What they all mean...

Ability scores define more than just +s and -s on hit rolls, saves, and damage- they should help serve to define your PC. The hardest part of most games is trying to portray a Int 8 Barbarian when you yourself are an avid gamer and know how to plan things out and think things through. But you're not playing yourself are you? A 8 Int Barbarian would be impulsive, would cut the ropes holding him over a pit filled with spikes before thinking ahead 1 step; he would boot down the door without second thought.

How to read the scores...

STR: 9 (-1)
DEX: 14 (+2)
CON: 13 (+1)
INT: 17 (+3)
WIS: 8 (-1)
CHA: 9 (-1)

You could read the same stats many ways depending on your character concept

1) He was lazy as an adolescent and never worked out too much (Str 9) but was otherwise healthy (Con 13). He was naturally smart (Int 17) and used that to get by and get into trouble as he lacked the common sense to keep his gob closed and tended to insult others with his offhand comments and insights (Wis 8). He learned to be quick on his feet to evade the people he offended (Dex 14). Most people find him abrasive but his heart is in the right place even if his people skills are lacking (Cha 9).

2) He grew up an academic in a boarding school for mages and applied himself day and night to his studies (Int 17) but never found the time or need to work out (Str 9). He is shy and introverted as he spent most of his time in the library pouring over ancient tomes piecing together forgotten lore (Cha 9). He is so engrossed in his thoughts he often doesn't notice it is raining until the downpour starts (Wis 8). He tinkers late into the night on potions which require manual dexterity (Dex 14) and enjoys a good meal when he remembers to eat (Con 13).



So... you're as strong as an ox (Str 16-17) and as wise as an owl (Wis 12-13) now means something else in the game world.
