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.

I like to imagine low INT characters who roll well as coming to the right conclusions for the wrong reasons. "Sparkly crown hurt eyes! SMASH!"

"You're right, Klaarg! The crown is clearly the source of his powers!

You guys do realize you can play low Int characters without resorting to Hulk speak right

I don't play characters with room-temperature IQs just to talk like normal me, that's hitting too close to home.

I did a low-int valor bard who was constantly "showing how smart she was" by telling the party totally-not-true trivia facts. Like "whales vomit salt, that's why the ocean is salty" and "some ladders are carnivorous."

Ladders COULD be carnivorous.

Please tell her DM to make a mimic disguised as a ladder

I'm actually often threatining my players (when we're talking, not while in game) that ramdom objects, espeically stairs and ladders could be mimics.

Andy from Parks and Rec or Peacemaker.

Yes, but the player isn't quite quick enough to make an ongoing gimmick out of malapropism.

Lots of people use long words incorrectly to try and sound more photosynthesis.

That's a posolutely hypotenuse observation, my good chum.

High Cha low Int like that are fun. You have have a perfect grasp of the language and speak eloquently, but you are absolutely wrong about everything you talk about. You give the most well spoken speech the village has heard in decades, but it’s about how horses are actually a type of wingless dragon and how ham grows on trees.
