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.

Just saying, the mortal stat range of 1-20 maps cleanly to an IQ test's functional range of 1-200.

8 int isn't a mouth breathing moron. It's just the guy who struggles a bit in math class but can make up the difference with effort.

Even if you don't like the IQ example a small penalty like this is still just slightly below average.

Forrest Gump would have an int of 8 by that standard though.
