[QUOTE="Kalshane, post: 7071729, member: 9505"] Well, Critical Role uses rolled stats, so it's not quite the same as point-buy, though they do get to pick which stat goes where. (Amusingly, the highest Intelligence in the party (20) belongs to the Fighter. Though his whole schtick is he's an inventor.) The barbarian player (he of the 6 Int) does a really good job of RPing his character's intelligence (though every once in awhile he forgets and says/does something too smart. Though he usually catches himself and says/does something to counteract it immediately thereafter.) I haven't seen much Intelligence dump-statting in my own groups (both as a player and as a DM.) I think, for the most part, we're all reasonably intelligent people and don't want to have to worry in the moment "Wait, would my character actually be able to think of that?" I also have a house rule when I DM granting extra tools/languages. [/QUOTE]
