[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7584806, member: 20564"] Please show me any keyword of Intelligent with a capital I. The it shows up in mounted where it's the beginning of a sentence, where intelligence - with a little i - would be spelled with a capital anyway, bringing everything you are talking about into question. Same thing is ther is a sentence about "Intelligent undead...", where it starts the sentence. No where else in Intelligent capitalized to indicate it's a special game term that is different than intelligent. No where else in the PHB is there any note of Intelligent as a keyword. There are plenty of examples of "intelligent". Under chosing a race (PHB 11) it's for an "intelligent humanoid", not an "Intelligent humanoid". Looking at the Antipathy/Sympathy spell (PHB 214), it talks about "Then specify a kind of intelligent creature, such as red dragons, goblins, or vampires." Notice that it's lower case intelligent, same as in the Find Steed spell. Also notice as you dragons and goblins are in the same breath, so the fact that they picked a dragon as an example of a intelligent mount does not mean that 10 is the minimum. The only cases where Intelligent is capitalized is at the beginning of a sentence where it would be capitalized due to standard English rules. With absolutely not a single confirmed case, I have to say Intelligent as a specific keyword does not exist in 5e, and that there is only the natural language meaning of intelligent. Which is both (a) explicitly given in the spell in the same way it's used in other spells like Antipathy/Sympathy, and (b) shown numerically as it has an Intelligence ability score that is higher then some rolled PCs.
