'''Wisdom''' is an [[ability score]], and the primary ability of [[Cleric]]s and [[Druid]]s.


Wisdom affects your [[Animal Handling]], [[Insight]], [[Medicine]], [[Perception]], and [[Survival]] skills and improves spellcasting for [[Cleric]]s, [[Druid]]s, [[Monk|Monks]] and [[Ranger]]s (better chance to hit enemies with [[Spell]] [[Attack Roll]]s; increases the [[Difficulty Class]] of spells with [[Saving Throw]]s).
