[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9576476, member: 18"] Exactly. If they measured intelligence, I'd be incredibly smart, like so smart. And I know I'm not, I'm genuinely kind of an idiot in most ways. But I sure as hell test like a genius (or to be specific, a few points below that). #humblebrag but genuinely never forget I'm mostly an idiot. On topic, I had a player who, in 1992, suggested that we eliminate using mental stats in D&D, and that we base player characters INT stats on the first two digits of our IQ test results (as posh schoolkids going to a very science-y public school, which is like the posher version of a private school, we'd all taken such, and not to be confused with a state school, which the free kind of school in the UK), and everyone assesses everyone else's CHA and WIS and we vote on what numbers people should have. When we uniformly gave him 8 CHA (he thought 16 was more appropriate) he said this system required deeper consideration and would get back to us. [/QUOTE]
