#2 salla Aug 11, 2009 23:03:17	Assuming you're talking 3rd Edition here ... INT can't go below 3. I can't say you're really 'bypassing' the half-orcs INT problem since you're still dumb as a bowl of mice, but you wouldn't go below 3.
#3 scarletice Aug 11, 2009 23:09:08	Ok yeah it's 3.5 and thanks. does it work like that with all the stats then? Also, your bowl of mice bit make me laugh. I'm stealing it now.

The rest of them can go below 3; INT has that limiter because, otherwise, as you say, you'd be of animal intelligence and not capable of doing essential tasks like communicating.
#5 entropy_judge Aug 12, 2009 1:38:45	Of course, you don't really want any of your stats below 3, as then any sort of ability damage becomes nearly lethal ... STR and DEX lead to paralyzation and death, WIS and CHA tend to send you comatose ... CON leads straight to death.
#6 kouk Aug 13, 2009 7:38:43	I think a bowl of mice may have a better chance of problem solving though...
#7 sockmonkey66 Aug 13, 2009 14:08:06	They do pretty well in those mazes.:D
#8 FlashbackJon Aug 14, 2009 11:15:14	They do pretty well in those mazes.:D Bowls of mice: nature's dungeoncrawlers. Literally.
#9 sockmonkey66 Aug 14, 2009 12:00:14	True, it should be were-rats and not minotaurs that get bonuses for navigating mazes. That whole labryinth thing was a one time incedent and the stupid bull never found his way out anyhow.

That whole labryinth thing was a one time incedent and the stupid bull never found his way out anyhow. He wasn't trying to, really. I mean, why leave when you have all your meals delivered fresh?

#12 excession_dup Aug 14, 2009 19:30:12	They do pretty well in those mazes.:D Not that well, the mice rarely come up with the idea of going straight through the walls. For Half-orcs it's the default behaviour.
#13 Mechalibur Aug 14, 2009 21:05:35	He wasn't trying to, really. I mean, why leave when you have all your meals delivered fresh? The reception down there is terrible, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted out.
#14 kouk Aug 15, 2009 5:08:15	The reception down there is terrible, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted out. I hear they didn't get cable down there (obviously, satellite wasn't invented yet).
#15 lynadianya Aug 17, 2009 3:51:32	you're still dumb as a bowl of mice. I actually busted up laughing at this...at work of course...so everyone looked at me funny...well, more funny than usual. I don't know why, it just struck me as hilarious. Never heard that particular phrasing of the dumber than phrase. :D
