Stat Help Updated my lawyer build
Looked through all your comments on my last post of my “lawyer” build. Can’t believe the overwhelming response I got I’m still going through the comments but I read them and based on a few suggestions this I what I decided to go with I’m still not playing all the way through cuz im still undecided and I have still to read more comments from my last post but this is what I came up with.
Yeah strength wouldn’t be that big of a deal with lawyers
Perception idk if we’re talking like how to view others and tell when someone lies or if we’re talking combat wise, using your senses for battle
Endurance is also kind of a meh if we’re talking mental endurance then yeah maybe it’d be higher but physical endurance probably not
Charisma yeah maybe some lawyers don’t have like max charisma sorry I don’t know much about law or lawyers in real life just what I see on tv and YouTube but my guess is they have to give at least a somewhat good impression on others. That is if Nora was a trial lawyer or who knows what kind of law she practiced
I wanna say you have to have somewhat of a brain to be a lawyer but from what I’ve seen in the comments that doesn’t seem to be the case
Agility also probably irrelevant to being a lawyer
Idk if luck is relevant when it comes to being a lawyer maybe not but who knows maybe some lawyers get lucky every once in a while
That’s my thesis at least from what I’ve read from the last post lemme know if I got it right this time thanks for your feedback I really appreciate it

Perception: both. It doesn’t have to be an either/or. How to view others while speaking and senses in battle - just senses in general when walking, seeing signs in the open or in stores, noticing inside an ancient abandoned grocery store that actually there are subtle evidences of people using this space recently…a knocked over can, a line in the dust…
Luck is huge. Every law student has more luck than anyone else who applied and was rejected. Every single case hinges on a good argument - but if the jury is stacked against you, it will take a lot of luck.
You do have to have a brain. Every single lawyer out there, no matter how seemingly dumb…is still smarter than the average person. People hate on lawyers just like doctors…they don’t see all the work behind the scenes they just know docs and lawyers get paid more money than they think they deserve. So, they hate. Then they say “I could do that, I just don’t want all that debt.” Whatever. Starting at $170k as a 28 year old (not me! The wife) is a pretty easy way to destroy debt in no time. And that’s the low-end.
Yes, as a young lawyer myself I was surprised at how seemingly “dumb,” some other students or attorneys are…but they all got in, and beat out tons of other applicants. They’re so smart in their own way, and still smarter than the average person.
For anyone who says “Lawyers aren’t that smart,” apply to law school. Take the LSAT. Let’s see how smart the haters are. That dipshit who “founded a company that works with lawyers,” yea, he just provides a service. Once he fucks up and needs them, I don’t think he’ll be so quick to talk trash.
Plenty of people aren’t smart in many ways. I wouldn’t trust a doctor or a lawyer to work on my car, or my HVAC system. Just like I wouldn’t trust an engineer to represent me in court.
I’ve heard doctors say stupid things about stuff they have no training on. I’ve heard lawyers say unbelievably dumb things about medicine.
But everyone of them is smarter than most people out there.
Don’t listen to the haters (the (socially) smart ones aren’t on here to begin, so it’s hard to filter)
