There are usually more options available if you think it through.If your party is stuck on open plains populated by barbarians, Grungar may have an advantage.The party knows that the villages has info the party needs. Said villagers/barbarians don't talk to (insert race, social class, or perceived physical status) so the character with GI isn't helping much. Someone makes a challenge (we go through X challenges of [add manly experience here]), and a few opposed strength checks later you all walk away with the info. Different mechanic, same result (the challenges might actually be faster in the long run). The barbarian gets to do something other than beat people with heavy objects (unless that's a challenge), and will most likely enjoy the experience. The guy with 15 ranks in GI can make up for it when they get to town, and the barbarian's player has a new story to tell.</blockquote>
