Being on the DMs Guild does not make it rules. You can like that submission all you want, it don't make D&D use your theory. There is nothing in 5e that suggests a direct correlation between INT and IQ. Sorry.

Great theory. Now all they need is to know their IQ. Who decides that? I think, how an individual answers that speaks a great deal to their playstyle. EDIT: Additionally, how exactly does one determine the "correct" way to "roleplay" an "IQ"? IQs are not personality traits, in-and-of themselves.

Fascinating "guarantee" you made there. Vapid, of course. But fascinating, none-the-less. Please don't think to speak for others. It's bad form. Just because you consider yourself a DM who makes poor choices doesn't mean others do. But thanks for your input on my previous post. Your opinion is...

IMO, it already does. Other than a tiny handful of oddball niche ideas, it has virtually everything covered, AFAIC.

One of my favorite PCs thus far, playing 5e, is my half-elven holy assassin. Raised in the ancient, high elf church, eventually recruited into their semi-secret order of mystical (not the class) assassins, the Order of the Unseen. Touched with gifts from the Queen of Air & Darkness herself, they...

But my point was that you are not like some posters here on this forum, who immediately invalidate anything that isn't WotC published. Who shun 3pp, or even mock the recommendations for them, as worse than having nothing at all.

I'd just like to commend you for being content with 3PP yourself, and not unreasonably demanding some "official" witch hunter from WotC. I wish more people were like you.

You should look into that more. You would (obviously) be surprised.

I only wish they had taken it a little further and made it their own, instead of just laying a thin skin over generic 5e. They should have done more to foster the S&S feel. But I still like it. Wish I could play it. Haven't had a chance yet. :(

Quote me doing so or stop muddying the conversation with your agenda. And an apology would be nice, if you can muster it.

If you are still in the warlord or bust fight, and you don't consider yourself a fan, why are you in it? I'm a fan of a great many things in 5e. I'm not ashamed to admit that. Odd that some of you act ashamed to admit your warlord fandom.

Funny you should mention a fallacy like slippery slope. Because your post is, itself, a false dilemma fallacy. Neat! Are there any good ones? I honestly don't know. I'd be interested in checking some out if you know of any. You can already play Ebberon using 5e. I know plenty of people already...

At this point? Maybe, yeah. Hyperbole? Is that really what passes for hyperbole these days? Or you could maybe grow a bit thicker internet skin and not take such cartoonish offense to every little choice of words. Yeesh. Dramaqueenmuch?

I get that some people prefer it that way. I do not believe 5e is designed, or written, to foster such a thing. Which is why I don't think your argument is best served attempting to pass off your opinion, or playstyle, as fact. Not to mention, your post seems to imply that the DM shouldn't...

Didn't you though? You mean this?... Yeah. The implication seems clear enough to me. But go on and do you. Don't let me stand in the way of someone determined to make foolish comparisons using hackneyed clichés.

This tired ol' stereotype of marines being dumb grunts is pretty far from reality, IMX. Just sayin'.

As I'm sure there are likewise those who exhibit exceptional motor skills and are also slow to act. Dex as initiative can be said to be arbitrary as well.

I don't think its generally in the best interests of the flow of the game* to have players simply declaring whatever game mechanics or system results, they are attempting. Its usually better to have them describe what their character is actually doing, or attempting to do, within the narration...

None of this corresponds with the opinion you stated earlier. Good to see you are distancing yourself from your previous post.

This invalidates entire tropes and enjoyable experiences, such as the Inspector Clouseau factor, for example. No thanks.
