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.

I’d say 8 is about right for Forrest Gump but he would have a high wisdom score and a decent score in everything else.
