Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

you spelt the holy ones name incorrectly.

You can have a charicter be insane without a weak WIS score, if it is only for roleplaying. If not, relocate a large amount of wisdom to another, more useful ability.

03-18-07, 04:05 AM That's easy: You know and understand too much for any mind to bear. You are not insane ... you just have a very different outlook on things, because you understand what is actually going on. CoC or White Wolf's Ravenloft have a lot of details on how horror and madness are influenced by understanding too much.
