Third most mentally challenged class
 
Adding up the stats:

We have Troll Warriors coming in for a clear 1st place at 52 INT.(25)

We have a highly tied 2nd place finish with Dwarves(25), Ogres(25), and Barbarians(25) coming in at an laudable 60 INT.

Finally, limping up the rear in 3rd place we have Halfings at an astounding 67(25) INT.

Therefore, in accordance with the law of averages, we have the Troll Warriors in 1st place at 52+(25) INT, Dwarf Ogre and Barbarian Warriors turning in a second place finish at 60+(25) and, finally, Halfling Warriors bringing up the rear in 3rd place with 67+(25) INT.

Therefore, halfling warriors are the 3rd most mentally challenged class.

Does wisdom factor into the calculation? Like weighted adjustment that means although a stupid person might not think to check if a mob cons red a wise one may notice a belt of halfling heads on a orcs waist and ponder the ramifications.

Just spitballin' here.

I'd think that would be an intelligence check.

Wisdom would be knowing that orcs have killed halflings in the past, so they are the enemy.

Intelligence would be seeing an orc belt made of halfling heads and interpolating that this orc has killed many halflings and is probably very dangerous.

A halfling warrior would charge into battle in the first encounter without having the intelligence to surmise that it will probably be a losing effort. However, the halflings wisdom would then trigger each subsequent interaction, and the halfling would recall that this orc is dangerous.

When you have low wisdom AND low intelligence, however -- that's a recipe for repeated failures. You lack the INT to be afraid, but also lack the WIS to recall past experiences. Then you have to rely on your brute STR and the durability of your STA in order to achieve any success.

Intelligence Shameing

Someone needs to report to HR for DEI sensitivity training. ASAP!

Yep wisdom more important than int. U can get by with like 75 wisdom even with like 52 int.

Naw wisdom is knowing or feeling this particular orc is a bad dude. And probably being able to seek guidance from experience to deal with it. Or connection to a diety or higher self


Intelligence is cunning. You can be smart enough to design a clever orc trap butt not wise enough to realize that this orc is one if Ralloses favored shamans who can divine and evade ur trap.

Wisdom typically trumps Intelligence every time. Intelligence is really only good in consort with good wisdom or some external guidance and experience to back it up.

I think I might be the mentally challenged one akshually.

I kinda forgot trolls and ogres could be other classes.

We should split this out into the INT/WIS debate.

Maybe later.
