I’m dumber faster

Uhm, actually recalling and learning from personal experience is WIS and not INT.

Really now, it’s this misconception that is really hurting the game. I will now go on a rant about how my interpretation of the stats is correct despite it being fairly ambiguous and confusing.
Umm… actually recalling information is INT.
The first line under “intelligence” in the PHB is:
“An Intelligence check comes into play when you need to draw on logic, education, memory, or deductive reasoning.”
Hell, even the keen mind feat, which gives you perfect memory for a month, gives you INT.
I know people like to “well actually” me after every single comic I post here, but give me at least a little credit…
I do take 5 minutes to check the rules before I spend multiple hours drawing a joke about them.
Okay, sorry about that. I was making a joke about things and yeah, it didn’t read as well as I thought it would in my head.
That’s okay, I’m just a little exasperated haha
When playing overly smart characters I tend go less for loquaciousness and more for confusing amounts of double entendré. Like how a temple might be incensed if I gave them the wrong perfume.
That’s what I do with my gnome wizard… after all, the PHB explicitly says “gnomes love puns”
This is why I keep my intelligence low.
I don’t want to remember.
What’s her int normally?
Nine.
