[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 3236570, member: 14041"] The character should be highly perceptive of others feelings (regardless of Sense Motive - he might not be able to tell when someone is lying but he can tell if they are sad or angry, expecially in the group and with friendly NPCs) and his surroundings (again regardless of skills) but have very little factual information. He might ask for details to be repeated such as the history of an item, place, or NPC as he probablly doesnt learn very quickly. On the other hand he can probablly give good advice about relationships and have strong gut feelings about what people are like, even if he isnt very good at relationships himself. A low intelligence does not neccearily equal stupid, it can simply mean uneducated and unconcerened about "knowledge" and "book learning" as such. Unless the character had a really low INT (say 3, 4, or 5) I would not portray him as mentally handicapped or even slow. Given a high Wisdom he will also know that he isnt that knowledgable and is unlikely to say and do things that show his ignorance. Rather he will remain quiet and be thought much more intelligent than he actually is. [/QUOTE]
