One of my players, who is playing a Wilder currently, pointed out something interesting to me yesterday. On page 20 of the WOT core book in the description of Charisma it states that Charisma, not wisdom, is the primary statistic for Wilders. Now as we all know, Wisdom is the listed primary stat for wilders in the class description. Now I know as well as everyone else how terribly edited this book was, and I personally am more than willing to trust the statistic given in the class description over the one mentioned under the Charisma section. BUT I do wish to ask all of you what you think, has this been mentioned before? and maybe corrected by someone official at the time? Or does anyone have a good argument for why either stat should be the primary one?

Thanks in advance for any insight or help you can offer.

wisdom makes more sense to me, personally...

plus since the 'wilder' is basically a copy/paste of ad&d 3E sorcerer class, wisdom would be primary

Isnt Charisma the Sorcerer's primary stat? Cause I'm pretty damn sure that that is the case. Not that im disagreeing with Wisdom for Wilders, just correcting.

Charisma is the main stat for sorc, but for wilder it's wisdom. See the (un)official FAQ here (pdf document; the info is in the errata on the last page).

I think the problem is that they basically just copy and pasted the first chapter and changed the class names to match. That's why the mistake.
Of course I always favored changing the Sorc. to resemble the Wilder, Char. makes no sense whatsoever.
