[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8462863, member: 23751"] This is part of the game where the mechanics and fluff don't really align. To do intelligence properly, you'd need bonuses at every number and not just every other number. Forest Gump with his 75 IQ rates a 7.5(7 or 8) intelligence score. Again, when there are animals with a 3 and a gorilla has a 6, and 10 is average, an 8 is Gump territory. He was definitely more intelligent than a gorilla and there's no other place to put it than in the 8 range. We do know from RAW that it is impaired reasoning ability, though. If RAW has determined that with an 8 you have impaired memory, ability to reason and an impaired ability to understand(mental acuity), and you are acting normal or above average in intelligence, that's really bad roleplaying. But if they pretend that they are smart by constantly doing smart things, that's not pretending. The fact is that they have a significantly impaired ability to understand, reason and remember by RAW. They have the intelligence of a gorilla or chimpanzee. [/QUOTE]
