[QUOTE="The Amazing Dingo, post: 1845148, member: 23353"] I agree with Dagger75 - your character doesn't even have to show he's brilliant. The easiest way is to obviously use some big words (remember, if there is a two syllable word that has a four syllable synonym, use the four syllable one as it sounds smarter: i.e, teacher -> educator -> facilitator). And besides, realistically, no one really knows how to play someone with an Intelligence of 49. I'm sure we could count on our hand the number of people throughout history who has even had an intelligence of 30. It is just unrealistic to even try to really consider it in anything realistic. For spells and such, this definately sounds epical in scope. You might want to check out Sepulchrave's Story Hour and Rogue's Gallery thread for a few epic level spells that his PCs and Baddies have used. They follow the Epic Level Rules very well and goshdarnit its such a good Story Hour (heck, one of the characters was toting an Intelligence of I think 150 for a short while). As for having the Soul of such a character....oh, there are so many interesting things I'd love to do as a DM with such. I'd talk to your DM about this since this has "plot hook" written all over it. But if left to me as a PC, it would definately have to become to type of magical item if not something of minor artifact status. Edit: With that type of intelligence, Cereb would be smart enough to know what the teacher was going to ask even before the teacher realized what he would ask. [/QUOTE]
