   HT is definitely the worst stat to hint at. ^___^;

   Instead, I'd go for 1 level of negative wealth.   
      
   Literacy... Who knows?   
      
   I'd also add Law: he was interrogated more than one time from Doctors   
   of Law.

   Extra life? Naaahhh... It's a plot device. ;)

   I agree with some of the above posters with Destiny, Sense of Duty   
   and/or Duty.

   LOTS of fast-talk, since childhood.   
   He seemed to have the answer always ready for everyone... Including   
   that time he was 12, in the temple (which is the ONLY episode of His   
   childhood in the official, Roman Church version of the New Testament).

   Delusion is when ALL -other- people feel you're NUTS... He had more   
   than a few followers, so it's out of range for every campaign.   
      
   His extra powers ARE, however, based on the campaign, ranging from   
   "none" to thousands points in healing, resurrecting, exorcistic   
   powers, and so on.
