Played a goliath in AL and kept rolling well on intelligence checks despite having an Int of 8, so roleplaying his epiphanies was always fun. Thunk was his name, ‘cause that sound Thunk make when Papa drop Thunk.

FWIW 8 shouldn't be that stupid, 10 being avg. and 12 being just a bit clever. Int 8 is like being an illiterate adult maybe. 6 is where things get really dumb.

How weak would a str of 6 be do you figure?

Pencil pusher, probably. I always heard 8 as the norm for a commoners stats.

Commoners are flat 10 across the board in their standard stat block.

That's good. It's for my investigative journalist PC I'm making soon. She's going to be very weak physically. 6 sounds about right for how I picture her.
