Stat up the Order of the Stick

[hamishspence]

I would probably go Thief rogue, with high stats in Dex, Cha, and Wis.

Roy is a "more filling" meal than Haley (3 good mental stats rather than 2). And we know Haley's INT is above average - she has "bonus languages" according to Elan.

If she has good Charisma and good Int, then, to be a noticeably worse meal than Roy "Tasty, but too sweet"

then maybe her worst mental stat is Wisdom?

This thread:

discussed the potential meanings behind the mind flayer's reaction to each person.

An alternate take, coming to a similar conclusion:

Well, let's see.

Roy has all three mental stats, so you can't derive much from him.

Elan has only Charisma and is a diet soda: sweet, no nourishment, tastes awful.

Vaarsuvius has only Intelligence and is a hamburger.

Durkon has only Wisdom and is "filling, but too bland."

Haley has Intelligence and Charisma and is "tasty, but too sweet."

Therefore, I conclude:

Wisdom is "filling."

Charisma is "sweet."

Intelligence is "savory."

Belkar is something savory but not filling or sweet, pushed by his anger in the direction of "I'd get heartburn." Vaarsuvius, with higher Intelligence, is also savory but not filling or sweet, but is tasty enough to be worth considering as a meal anyway.
