Wisdom, abbreviated as Wis, is a character attribute in Planescape: Torment.

Effects[]

Possibly the single most important stat in the game, wisdom gives The Nameless One more dialogue options, and gives any character a bonus to experience, making them level up much faster. It also helps The Nameless One regain memories from his past lives, and thus aids storytelling.

Experience Bonus[]

For each point of Wisdom above 12, a 2.5% bonus to experience is gained. This is at cumulative, whether or not it is rounded up or down. At 25 wisdom, 5% more bonus experience is gained over 24.
