PC Intelligence[edit | edit source]

Intelligent players often have difficulty playing stupid PCs (and vice-versa). The GM should make an attribute test when a dumb character attempts something clever.

When testing Memory, a higher Intelligence may be simulated with GM reminders such as “I’m sure you remember that terrible flood in Tharda in 707 in which thousands drowned”.

Animal Intelligence[edit | edit source]

All entities are measured on the same intelligence scale. However, animal intelligence has a major instinctual component and is not always directly comparable to that of another species.
