Wits

Wits describes how quickly your character thinks as well as her cleverness and how well she can react to sudden changes in her environment. This Attribute describes how well your character thinks on the fly and how nimble her mind is. Wits is also used to determine when characters act in combat through the use of the Join Battle action.

Trait Effects: Someone with Wits 1 is either dull or perpetually distracted. Someone with Wits 3 is exceedingly clever and almost never loses her cool. Someone with Wits 5 is seldom surprised and knows how to deflect suspicion when guards see her sneaking off with the Perfect of Paragon's enchanted scepter.

Characters with Intelligence or Wits scores of 0 are reduced to mindless vegetables. Characters with no dots of Perception are deprived of all senses and cut off from the outside world. Characters reduced to Stamina or Essence 0 have their lives snuffed out. Characters without any Willpower become will-less automatons, similar to what remains after the Fair Folk consume a being's hopes and dreams. In all of these cases, the character can no longer spend experience and has no hope of recovery.
