Since the game of D&D is a social game, it's part of the social contract of the game that all of the players do their best to engage in the game honestly.   I believe that the players do have a responsibility to engage honestly with the game, which includes acknowledgement of their character creation choices.  They made those choices, they have a responsibility for those choices.  If that choice is to play an imbecile, then I do believe that the player who made that choice has a responsibility to honor that choice and do his/her best to play an imbecile.  I will recommend against that choice, but it's ultimately theirs to make.  Given my expectation of honest engagement, if they do insist on that choice, I will expect them to honor it in play. I will do my part to honor their choice by making appropriate rulings and calling for appropriate checks, but the sole responsibility for honoring the player's choice does not rest solely with me as GM.</p></blockquote><p></p>
