Wisdom

Ability to interact with gods. Specifically, it will increase the amount of relationship gained from a successful prayer, and decrease the amount of relationship lost from an unsuccessful prayer. It does not affect the time required between prayers, or the quality of rewards, although it will allow a player to gain favor faster, and thus access better rewards sooner.

Wisdom is also one of the two stats needed for Science Talking.

Uses

• You need a minimum amount of wisdom in order to initiate a science talk with a character.
• Higher wisdom causes your relationships with the gods to increase and decrease faster.
• For AI controlled characters, a wisdom check determines whether they will do stupid things such as walk into acid, or eat/drink dangerous substances.
• Levelling wisdom past certain thresholds will cause you to grow impressive facial hair.
