However, regardless of that fact, using it in the sense I've described helps retain immersion for my group (and perhaps Hussar's), because it's much easier for us to fathom an idiot being an idiot. Because, to me (and perhaps Hussar), a person with a Int of 6 and a Wis of 6 is an idiot. They might have shining moments, but that's usually because simplicity can really put things into perspective sometimes.Anyways, just my thoughts. As always, play what you like <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
