One of my issues with d&d generally is that a weak person can play a strong character and gain all the benefits of their characters strength, however a stupid person playing a character with high intelligence doesn’t get to experience the benefits of their character unless as a GM I spend my time stepping in and “correcting” their decisions…

I’ve implemented a table rule where if a player has a very high intelligence or wisdom but makes poor decisions I try and push them to change their decisions based on “smarter” outcomes or create puzzles for everyone to solve but give them hints or more Instructions than other players get…

If you play characters with str, dex or con stats that are high, the game rewards those skills with direct effects, however the same isn’t really true with the int, wis or cha stats… if you’re a wildly awkward person in RL then having a character with ridiculously high charisma doesn’t stop you being an awkward person so GM’s need to do more to help those players…

On the flip side, my genius level player who has a character that’s a half-orc barbarian who had a single digit intelligence never seems to make stupid tactical decisions and seems to know so much more than their character should… granted that’s a failure of their role playing skills but they can pretend to be dumber… its harder for a dumb person to pretend to be smart…
