[QUOTE="iserith, post: 6767427, member: 97077"] The rules tell me what I need to do: "Inspiration is a rule the Dungeon Master can use to reward you for playing your character in a way that’s true to his or her personality traits, ideal, bond, and flaw." DMs can, of course, award Inspiration for any reason, but I think this is a clearer, more concrete standard players can use to make decisions about how to roleplay their characters rather than how they imagine the DM thinks a 6-Intelligence character should be played. "I idolize a particular hero of my faith, and constantly refer to that person’s deeds and example..." (a personality trait from the acolyte background) is clear. What the DM thinks is too smart for the 6-Intelligence fighter is not. I didn't answer this one three times, just the once. But [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?473191-5th-Edition-Intelligence&p=6767112&viewfull=1#post6767112"]here's my answer[/URL]. It's not clear to me what this means. Are the other players instructed to pretend not to know what the 6-Int character is saying based on a failed Intelligence check? [/QUOTE]
