Intuition in general seems to be the most useful. It holds many of the accesses to solution generally attributed to intelligence, just more quickly while being harder to communicate. Luck, intelligence, awareness and charisma is quite useful too so they would be prioritized as well.

Although I'd try and work my intelligence and charisma higher, my top stat'd be skill.

Compassion and kindness.

What? You mean those aren't primary characteristics?

Those are behaviors. ;p Which would fall under charm, generally. Charm doesn't explicitly mean manipulation. Though not everyone is charmed by compassion and kindness. Some people would rather follow the heels of a dominatrix than a saint. XD Charm more or less covers appeal, manipulation and influence. And compassion and kindness do have effects on others. Though not always, and not always in the way that you would hope.

Though it could also fall under faith, if it is your belief that being compassionate and kind is vital for the kind of things that you want to do.

It isn't because of my beliefs, or to charm people, it is just how I am. myaa. Or at least how I am mostly. myaa

I wonder if there is such a thing as a saintly dominatrix? myaa?

Ideally, for most normal RPGs (like Exalted these days) which I've played, basic charisma has held the key to not just getting people to do things for me, but is a key way to obtaining more power (via people learning to "trust" my characters enough to endow upon them various secrets to increase my characters' powers/abilities.)

After charisma, agility/skill (which is basically the same for White-wolf) are my next most favored statistic(s) since it increases the frequency of both attack, and also more likely to actually make an accurate attack (to deal more damage since natural luck is a plus).

Following that, awareness/perception, and intuition/wits are my third most desired statistics since it allows for my characters to perceive threats or opportunities sooner, and then react to them all the more quickly before others have even realized it.

Heh. Nice way to put it Xia. I like the irony...I still prefer to old saying about lies though. "There are three ways to lie. Through saying something which is not true, through ommitance, and through statistics."
