?????????

this is the last part of her story, if anyone is interested!

here's an equally insane story from the comments:

You know. I see the take that Fjord was a himbo and every time I'm like "...are you aware of the concept that words have meanings" so right here, right now, we're going do a comprehensive ranking of main cast Critical Role PCs to help us understand why this take is inscrutable.

Please reference this post for the definition of himbo; while the specific mechanical designations are my own, the primary requirements (kind, beefy, stupid, masculine-aligned) are non-negotiable. Kindness is somewhat subjective and I've made my judgments, but I've left it up in the air for most C3 characters.

Grog Strongjaw: 75% himbo (beefy, stupid, male)

Fjord: 25% himbo (male)

Bertrand Bell: 50-75% himbo (beefy, male, kindness to be determined)

Keyleth: 50% himbo (beefy, kind)

Beauregard Lionett: 0% himbo

Laudna: 0-25% himbo (kindness to be determined)

Scanlan Shorthalt: 25% himbo (male)

Taryon Darrington: 25% himbo (male)

Veth Brenatto: 0% himbo

Fresh Cut Grass: 75% himbo (stupid, kind, uses he/him pronouns among others)

Pike Trickfoot: 50% himbo (beefy, kind)

Yasha Nydoorin: 25%-50% himbo (beefy, kindness debatable)

Fearne Calloway: 25-50% himbo (stupid, kindness to be determined)

Vex'ahlia: 0% himbo

Jester Lavorre: 25-50% himbo (beefy, kindness debatable)

Imogen: 0%-25% himbo (kindness to be determined)

Vax'ildan: 50% himbo ( kind, male)

Caleb Widogast: 25% himbo (male)

Orym: 25-50% himbo (male, kindness to be determined)

Percival Friedrichstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III: 25% himbo (male)

Mollymauk Tealeaf: 25-50% himbo (uses he/him pronouns, kindness debatable)

Caduceus Clay: 75% himbo (kind, stupid, male)

Ashton Greymoore: 50-75% himbo (beefy, uses he/him pronouns, kindness to be determined)

Therefore:

Covering these final comments. Going forward any further replies do need to take the form of a five paragraph essay on the grounds that at least then I have some sense that you did the reading.

1. "Kindness debatable" means I felt that character's kindness is too subjective for me to definitively say but I am open to both a "yes, they are kind" and "no, they are not" opinion.

2. I have been championing INT over WIS for years while everyone around is like "lol dump intelligence here's my lore bard with 25 charisma and 5 intelligence, this definitely makes tons of sense" and suddenly a party shows up where most people have a higher wisdom score than intelligence score and everyone's like "they're FUCKED" and it's like oh. huh. funny. I thought you wanted this. funny that when faced with the logical conclusion of your statements you suddenly freak out. ANYWAY my point is wisdom is mechanically very useful but people rarely actually play high wisdom as "making good decisions" because if you made good decisions in D&D you would probably stay home and open up a small business. As Marisha Ray once said, well-adjusted people don't go out and fight dragons.

3. To that end, Fjord is described in-universe as "astute"; Caduceus (to use an example) is incredibly intuitive and therefore can pick up on some weird outliers but there's only so far you can go when your entire base of experience is mourners, your immediate family and aunt, and the guy in Shady Creek who sells dry goods. Similarly Jester says a whole lot of wildly inappropriate shit; obliviousness is just as tied to intelligence (which includes experience) and to an extent charisma (see: Keyleth) as it is to wisdom.
