[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 6850359, member: 16814"] Yes, you have, but you haven't answered the question asked. There's a difference between those two. If you'd rather not answer, that's fine, but please stop acting as if you've answered the question asked. Well, good thing I never said I was objectively correct in my preferred way of roleplaying. I said that playing a definitional above average ability with a definitional below average ability score is definitionally incorrect. Premises can vary, though. I'd never tell someone else that they can't have fun doing something objectively bad. I can think of a ton of objectively bad things that are fun. I'm much more of a 'you have fun playing your way, man' kind of guy. I think that's fantastic for the hobby. I'm happy you disagree with me on this, and have great fun playing games your way with your set of opinions. Wouldn't want it any other way. But, if you ask me my opinion, I'll give it to you, but it comes with zero expectation that you should heed it or, god forbid, you should find it as me telling you how to play. If you want to ignore that a 5 intelligence is below average by definition of the rules, go ahead. Doesn't bother me. I'm glad you're having fun, as that's the only metric I actually care about. I wouldn't have fun in a game where someone had a 5 INT and played like Sherlock Holmes. That would grate on me. But that's my issue, and, as I've said, my resolution would be to remove myself, not tell them they can't play that way. [/QUOTE]
