[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7877613, member: 6689161"] I like what you are doing. However I would note that historically only about 2.5% of the population has an IQ above 130 if we are using the wechsler III or before. I can't recall if I actually administered the IV or not but assume it still has a mean of 100 and SD Of 15 as well. In a like vein a 14 strength would be uncommon in the days of Gygax where a 10 was a person "in good shape" from manual labor! I would have to revisit the lifting capacity in 5e to figure it out as it stands now. not sure if the IQ stuff helps but interesting project you have. Another consideration is that IQ and functioning don't always perfectly align. Some people who aren't very quick are more functional than you might guess despite what intelligence is supposed to mean. I think a 5 INT would most certainly have some form of dysfunction. A 6-7 would likely as well. Heck, an 8 would be noticeable. A 9 could pass for average in many circumstances. And I hate to say it but we are biased by our cohort. Playing D&D and not sniffing glue in high school led me to a group of friends (still together many years later) who have all been accomplished --maybe I am an outlier and they wonder how I fit :) --My sample (and frankly a lot of geeks) are probably not normally distributed. Betting many posters here would notice an 8-9 in their game group after a few sessions. Maybe not. [/QUOTE]
