We played some of our D&D campaign tonight. I'm finding it troublesome to remember how to play a character with high wis and low int. Like, as a person I immediately can figure out what the hell is going on but I'm like "would my hippie character get it or not?"

Whatever, it'll get better as we get used to things.

Funny thing tonight: noticed that one of my baseball club buddies from Hosei is using a photo I took of him as his FB profile pic... but clearly he like, took a cellphone photo of the paper print photo I gave him, so I went and sent him a real JPG to use. I then noticed that a whole lot of other boys in the baseball club have FB accounts. Can't decide if I should try to friend them or not. Some of them might go for it, most would be like "omg what? crazy gaijin". Shrug.

Funny thing yesterday: Saw an old white dude wearing a Yomiuri Giants hat on the way to work. Called out at him "That's a crappy Yomiuri hat you have there," and he stopped to talk to me for a bit. I explained a little of my backstory and expressed shock that nobody had ever yelled "Kutabare Yomiuri" at him given how the Giants in Japan are like the Yankees here. He was like "No.. you're the first..."

Just take a tiny little bit of potion of intelligence loss, carefully dilute it repeatedly, and drink that. Now your hippy character will become very smart.

If you had low wis AND low int you would definitely have to consider whether your character could figure something out, but high Wis means that your character can be (and likely is) prone to flashes of intuition, especially in situations where you could reasonably get information from a Wis skill, like Sense Motive or Perception or Survival. So, "unlock this dungeon door puzzle": usually not; "There must be water in this area--oh there it is": possibly; "WTF is with all this intrigue?": almost definitely.
