A character with 8 int could be dumb, but they could also be someone who never had access to formal education. And a character with a high int could be pretty "naturally" dumb too, but also be someone who has a good formal education.
Yup ...
Thats basicaly what im trying to say.
I dont argue that stat that is called "intelligence" isnt numeric expression of "intelligence" for our characters ...
I was just trying to say that its lack doesnt need to mean that character "is stupid", or even worse "isnt able of regular comunication" ... just as it was presented in the coment i was reacting on. :-/
I mean i could imagine that Intelligence 1 would have such effect, and evet that sounds like little hardcore to me ... we were never told what difference is there between character who have Intelligence 8 and another one who have 20 ...
Probably bcs that is up to us, and so we are not so limited in our imagination. :P
When someone try to tell me that my Barbarian with intelligence 8 should not be able to use full sentences, i reply that their Wizard with strength 8 should not be able to carry weight of his own body.
Just to show how ridiculous that whole claim is, once we start to use it for other ability scores aswell.
