Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lady Starhawk" data-source="post: 259326" data-attributes="member: 441">My group will be going back to characters we started (in a Hero:fantasy game).  I have bought my character's stats up and now have a character (basically an archer and a scout) with a 23 intelligence (10 is "average" so the scale is similar to D&D).My question becomes how do you roleplay a character that's smarter than you.  Our DM has us as players figure out the puzzles in game so it doesn't matter much that my character's that darn smart because. I can't figure out the puzzles, but no one has bought intelligence up that high before, most players are more interested in strength and dex so I don't know if the dm will allow checks to see if the characters can figure it out, or if he's going to make us as players figure it out.It's easy to game with a character with great strength, dexterity and constitution, but I am having a smilar problem with sorcerer chars in D&D, I'm just not a very charismatic person, I am not smooth and I don't think of things well  off the top of my head. Of course it's a little easier to fake charisma than intelligence, but it's still a problem for me.So, other than sitting the DM down and talking to him (which I am going to do anyway) how can I play the character true to stats?<specifically intelligence>Just wanting some advice.Lady Starhawk</blockquote>
