    And mental problems are often presented as a Wisdom penalty. Derros, who are mad, have a Wisdom penalty that gets fixed when they are cured of their racial madness.

    I guess Janine, written as a character, would just have high Wisdom combined with a ton of Flaws: a huge penalty to Sense Motive and Diplomacy, to start with, and probably she would have to make Will Saves to avoid saying something inconvenient/awkward when meeting an attractive man, and to avoid being shaken when rejected...

    Ah. Unintentional.

    Janine doesn't have low wisdom. She has a penalty to sense motive, and likely only in specific situations. Personality is not linked to ability scores. At all.

    Janine's pretty perceptive...just not when it comes to things like this. And I love how busy the thread's gotten since my update! Man, I've missed this.

    Ninjas use dexterity to make things explode with their mind. Causing strokes with a word is but one weapon in a ninja's deadly arsenal.

    I don't think ninjas would make good counsellors. They would try to kill you all the time.

    I retconned Serrin's age. She's in her early to mid 30s, Tinder's in his early 60s, and the rest are in their 20s.

    To explain, when they first started the fan comic section, there were a bunch of threads being created, and most didn't even have a comic being made associated with it. Some were reserved threads for people who "wanted" to start it. Others were threads saying someone should make a comic with X, Y, and Z while not doing it themselves. The amount of these threads to the threads that actually had comics to them was reaching a high ratio. In the end, the mods decided to make threads approved by them before its posted to cut out the spam.

    Replace the word fancomic with game and you got the story of the structured games section.

    Prelims are coming up so expect another slowdown. I hope I don't disappoint with the next comic either.

    Also, the Tvtropes page might need updating.
