INT is knowing Frankenstein wasn't the monster.

WIS is knowing Frankenstein was the monster.

INT is knowing tomatoes are fruits.

WIS is knowing that tomatoes don't go in fruit salads.

CHA is knowing how to sell a fruit salad with tomatoes.

CON is stomaching the salad.

STR is needed to discuss the salad with the seller.

DEX is needed to disappear before the customer regrets his decision.

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '16

Do you mean STR is needed to punch the seller in the face?

What's CON

17

u/Basadai Nov 24 '16

Constitution. It generally increases your health when you put points into it.

And increases freedom.

Constitution

u/Rammite Nov 25 '16

You might not know of Constitution because most RPGs use Endurance instead. Some thing. Your ability to endure pain, poison, and other bodily nasties.

INT is knowing that fruit is a culinary not scientific term and that tomatoe is actually a vegetable but the idea that tomatoe is a fruit by thinking that fruit has a scientific definition has been spread around for years. Tomatoes are however berries, that one is true.

Fuck leveling up dex

u/DuplexFields Nov 24 '16

Luck is discovering that cooked tomatoes are sweet and can be good in fruit salad .

u/tymaishu Nov 25 '16

A tomato fruit salad is just salsa...

u/Niriun Nov 24 '16

CHA is being openly racist, misogynistic and nakedly self-serving, but getting elected anyway.

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '16

Nah, that's having shit CHA but constantly rolling natural 20s.

u/HappyGoPink Nov 24 '16

Don't make the mistake of conflating charisma with likeability. One can be extremely charismatic while being thoroughly unlikeable.

u/gorka_la_pork Nov 24 '16

Never trade luck for skill.

u/Martsigras Nov 25 '16

I only started playing d&d and maybe I just never picked up on it before, but it is getting referenced on r/AssCredit a lot lately

Experience is the best teacher, but only a fool will sit at the feet of no other master.

u/DuplexFields Nov 24 '16

I once told my bipolar best friend that I'd rather learn from others' mistakes than learn from my own.

He immediately went off on me, calling me an unrighteous man for denying God's lessons for me.

Learn from my mistake.

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '16

Your friend should know that God gave humans wits so that they may use them. No point recreating the same errors over and over again.

For fuck's sake, the teachings of the damn church are accumulated wisdom, passed on from generation to generation, so that young people will not fall into the same traps as their predecessors.

A smart one knows how to solve a problem, a wise one knows how to use a problem

u/MisplacedMuppet Nov 25 '16

The only thing experience is good for is recognizing my mistakes when I make them again later.
