Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dr. Strangemonkey" data-source="post: 678564" data-attributes="member: 6533">5 intelligence could be viable, you just have to accept the idea that the mental system of DnD represents intelligence as a variety of categories where IQ as we know it is a general description with a slant towards the area that DnD defines as Int.Even without that dodge......Muhammad Ali tested as having a 70 IQ according to the army, and he's a more than viable sort of a human being.  Fairly good model for a character in many ways.Aside from that, however, I do believe you can make him reroll, his character does not have a net +2 benefit from his attributes.But the character could also be portrayed as someone who has excellent muscle memory and fantastic social intelligence, but who has issues...For Instance:The character has a powerful mental handicap or two.  Perhaps the character has developed a very flawed ability to translate between his short and long term memory. So that the character can remember his initial bard training to be a good musician and friendly guy, the high charisma bonuses, but has a crippling learning disability, low low rank accumulation for every level, and has both a dim ability to understand situations over a day old and some sort of dare-devil problem, low wisdom, because he is:A.) Overconfident because he has overcome his problemB.) Manic depressive from having seen his vast potential crippled.I would make a deal with the player.  If you can both find some way to play the character that satisfies everyone, then you have just had a genuine role-playing moment.  If you can't within the first few games, then obliterate the character.</blockquote>
