[@Conscripts] Like I said, the Intelligence stat will be assigned according to what's written in the CS. We're not handing out stats at random, just having a loose quantifier to tie the RP closer to the source material. If your CS says "this is a smart character," you'll get a stat saying "this is a smart character." [@Zeroth] You're kind of blowing it out of proportion. My point wasn't "never try," but more like if it's such a big problem for you maybe reconsider your character. An old adage is "write what you know," and if you don't know a fuckin thing, then, well.... you get the idea.
