[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 6879187, member: 6777052"] The whole point of this thread is to describe how you might role-play a genius character with an Int of 5. Now, I can see that people who believe that genius characters in D&D have to have an exceptionally high Int otherwise they can't possibly be geniuses, are a bit stuck when it comes to suggesting examples. However, some of us believe that it is possible and have given examples. However, some people seem to be uncomfortable with our examples. Of course, as you rightly point out, whether or not someone believes the examples are valid depends on what they think a genius is in real life and also, separately, on how that can reasonably be translated into D&D terms. Alas, there are as many opinions on this as there are people posting and no general consensus. You and I seem to have different ideas of what is a genius in real life but that's okay - every genius is unique anyway. You are allowed to make up your own mind. Einstein and Beethoven had rather similar hairstyles and they both spoke German, so perhaps it might be fun to describe your PC as having wild hair and narrate him with a German accent. [/QUOTE]
