There are no consequences to having an Intelligence 5 other than the -3 modifier to Intelligence checks and saves. When the player has the character undertake a fictional action with an uncertain outcome, the character is 15% less likely to succeed than a character with a 10 or 11 Intelligence. The player is not required to abstain from answering riddles, coming up with plans, or the like. They are not roleplaying "wrong" by doing so.I provided a link to the definition in a previous post and will let that stand as proof that you're engaging in the aforementioned fallacy. If another fallacy better applies to the fallacious argument you presented, then I welcome someone to suggest what it is if they are so inclined. The bottom line is that just because someone doesn't roleplay Intelligence 5 as you would prefer doesn't mean they'll be engaged in other things that annoy you. That does not necessarily follow.</blockquote>
