No. It is not. IQ 100 is the average. That means some people are a bit below that, some are a bit higher.Point buy starts at 8.
Humans get +1 to every stat. To me 8-9 is average intelligence. That should be the baseline.
I never check the time stamps on necro’d threads. So embarrassing.Ah, I LOVE this sort of stuff.
I'm glad it got necroed from 2017.![]()
I think that's directly mentioned in the 1E DMG.I've always mentally assumed that Int ~ IQ*10. Given an average of 90-120 IQ. Sure, that's certainly higher than the real world, but eh?
I don't think Wisdom should try to be equated to IQ in any fashion. I've known too many intelligent people that are clueless as well as plenty of lower intelligent folks who are brilliant.
