- coldtea 4y agoThey'll find out it's really not, when they inevitably meet a foolish highly-intelligent person doing unwise things...
- phkahler 4y agoYep, that's probably why PP said 12 year old. Teen years are full of opportunities to learn this difference. There's no shortage of intelligent morons at 15 ;-)
- peteradio 4y agoIntelligence: Here is how you can remove this fence. Wisdom: Should we really be removing this fence?
- fullstop 4y agoIntelligence: A tomato is a fruit Wisdom: It does not belong in a fruit salad
- naniwaduni 4y agoTomato is great in fruit salad, what are you on about?
- TuringTest 4y agoThere's low wisdom stats, too :P
- andrewl 4y agoExactly. The famous Chesterton’s Fence.
- dgb23 4y agoMy fighter is somewhat wise but not so smart. At least he knows he isn't the smartest, thus he writes everything down in a journal he deems important. He doesn't come up with the most interesting or cunning solutions. But he knows that good preparation, a solid formation and sharp weapons can solve many problems and avoid pitfalls. The opposite (smart but not wise) would be someone who is book smart or even a smart-ass. Probably coming up with all sorts of crazy and interesting ideas, but doesn't necessarily judge situation too well and might quickly discard simple but effective solutions. They might be quick minded and suddenly do high risk/reward kind of moves that either save the day or fail spectacularly.
