Wisdom

Governs Will saves, psionic power, conventional defence, bonus powers, and Perception.

Wisdom (WIS) represents a character's enlightenment, judgement, willpower, and intuition. It governs Will saves, conventional defence adjustment, grants bonus psionic powers for high WIS, and determines power/power failure chance. WIS serves as the key ability for Perception, Survival, Medicine, and Tracking checks. For Psions, WIS is the prime requisite and governs Power Check bonuses.
