About Dr. Miguelito Loveless"A strangely honorable man." -- James T. West Quotes from Dr. Loveless "Ultimately we are all prisoners... Because we cannot escape ourselves. Stone walls are never so much a prison as the skin that surrounds each of us." "I'm not a petty man, I'm a scientist. I've trained, disciplined myself to be serenely dispassionate." "I plead guilty to being dictatorial, vain, short-tempered, occasionally unreasonable, always... always a helpless admirer of all that is rare and fine in nature and art. But mad... no sir, that I will not permit." "What I detest so about violence is the noise that goes along with it. It destroys conversation." "It's so amusing the way men pride themselves on being civilized." "I abhor spirits, they make a man less than human." "Know better than to kill a man when he's not looking!" "Bad boys must stay bad." "The very nicest toys are the ones that go 'bang'." "Politicians and generals? What kind of peace can you expect from the likes of them? They're vermin! They ought to be exterminated, every one of them." "I shall never die. Death is too ordinary. The humiliation would kill me." (All of the above are direct quotes from the original Dr. Loveless in the TV series The Wild Wild West. Below are things Doc would have gotten credit for if he'd said them first.) “I'm brilliant as well as skilled. It's a great burden, all of that on top of my angelic good looks. But I try to soldier on as best I can.”
"It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level." -- Marvin the Paranoid Android; The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "Obviously a guy with a six-shooter beats an old man with a magic wand." -- Rajesh Koothrappali, Ph.D.; The Big Bang Theory; "The Flaming Spittoon Acquisition" “You’re big. I've fought bigger.” -- Thor; Thor "You can never have too much firepower." -- Billy Rosewood; Beverly Hills Cop II "The only reason you're still alive is that I find your stupidity mildly amusing." -- Lord Shen; Kung Fu Panda 2 "Keep the pain and heartache from taking over. That's really the trick to making it out alive." -- Nadie; El Cazador de la Bruja "It is the nature of man to confuse genius with insanity." -- Charles Rane, Passenger 57

Low Wisdom Effects:
Quote: Wisdom describes a character’s willpower, common sense, awareness, and intuition. Quote: PCs with low Wisdom should be naive and gullible and easily convinced of facts that are obviously wrong. Quote: A character can go indecisive ("I can't figure out if this is a good or a bad thing to do, so I will spend more time trying to figure it out"), or impulsive ("I don't see any downsides, let's go!"). I generally play slightly low Wis characters as the latter: hot-headed, brash, unlikely to think things through. They take risks, even if they're intelligent enough not to; they have the smarts, they just don't use them. 8 Wisdom: substantially more likely to take those unnecessary risks ("hey, it seemed like a great idea at the time"). 6 Wisdom: frequent, low-grade hallucinations; easily distracted by shiny things, likely to leap before looking. |
