Anniversary Edition: Ileosa's original stats (Potentially spoilerish)

[Angry Wizard]

Okay, after removing her magic stat boosting items, her template, level bonuses (assuming they all went into charisma), and her wish bonuses, this is Ileosa's original before the events of the campaign to the best of my knowledge.

Ileosa's original stats:

Str 10, Dex 16, Con 16, Int 9, Wis 7, Cha 18 (19 at when she was aristocrat 2/bard 4), generated 25 point-buy stats

I'll be honest, I'm actually kind of surprised by her lack of int and wis, she always seemed kind of cunning in her backstory, if only rather overly cautious with some of her greater schemes. Was she really this dim, or was this just to have the stats line up well enough for a tougher boss battle later? Can anyone from Paizo confirm if these numbers are accurate or if they are spread a little differently?

Those are indeed her stats as an aristocrat 2/bard 4. She really was that dim, to use your words—her low Int and particularly her low Wis are what account for her never really getting much done with her evil plans until the Crown kicked in and let her realize her true potential. She very much got by on her charm and silver tongue and looks before the AP began.

Huh, neat. Thanks for the clarification!

Sounds like the main bad guy of Crystal Shard, minus the charm.
