This is much closer to my point. laugh

I have played old Fallout, and yes it was "kinda" fun when my 1 Itelligence character said only "uh huh" ...
For a first few seconds (quite litteraly).

But once you get to dialogue where your options are:
- "Nuh-huh, uh-nuh?"
- "Uh, nuh? Nuh-uh-uh-nuh"
While one of them is hostile reaction, and another one if friendly one ... what is the fun in that, how can you roleplay such thing?
This isnt low intelligence trait ... this is effect of a stroke and serious brain damage. :-/

BTW
Can you switch your awatar back? You are confusing me. laugh

Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are! frown

Sure ...

And people who dump Str should get reduced movement speed with armor, or with something in their backpack.
People who dump Dex should randomly get roll for triping over their own foot.
People who dump their Con will get their arms broken when attacked.
People who dump theis Wis will also get stupid lines.
And peole who will dump their Cha willget face and body of their avatar deformed.

See how absurd it gets?

agreed, all of those things should exist.

But except they shouldn't, because the default minimal is an 8, not a 1 like in, for example, fallout games. 8 means you are slightly below average in any given field of expertise, yet you are still just a normal human being, not a drooling retard, not a skinny sick boy, not a feeble rachitic. IMO ofc.

But when rolling...isn't the lowest possible number...3? That's high enough for animal companions to use skills(might have this confused with pathfinder rules) but not high enough for them to be able to speak.

And personally I hate that 5e went with the decision that you can't go lower than 8 when point buy.

I will change when I find a better pic that is free to use. I'm not an artist and I'm too stingy to pay for a profile pic :P
