What do people think about how the cost of his 2 1-pint bottle's of very good quality ale work out?

To those that have forgot the price works out at their normal price of 1 Silver Coin per pint then you times it by 5 for the ale being very good quality

That means that the 2 bottles are both worth 5 Silver Coins or a total of 10 Silver Coins or a total of 1 Gold Coin

High-Int low-Wis Mages are three things:

1. the most dangerous adventuring companions it is possible to have, and
2. the most fun characters there are, when it comes to playing one, and
3. likely to have the life expectancy of a fruit fly, as if its own foolishness doesn't kill it the rest of the party just might.

Usually, I see high-Int low-Wis as being very able to quickly think up ideas and learn concepts but being very unable to consider consequences or even acknowledge their existence. Not as dangerous with non-casters but coupled with access to area-effect damage spells you've got a walking talking time bomb.

The most commonly heard word from such characters is "oops". :)

Smart enough to know how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

But not wise enough to know why that's an answer worth knowing.

"You feel wet drops on your arm. Intelligence tells you that it's raining; Wisdom tells you to seek shelter."
-one of the old Basic D&D books, can't remember which one

So I'd say that a character with high INT and low WIS would be like a naïve PHD student who has earned multiple advanced degrees at a prestigious university, but has no real-world experience and has lived a very sheltered life. All "book smarts" with no "street smarts."
