[My Name is Immaterial]

That is a very articulate sentence for someone that, by RAW, is barely able to speak and operate at a human level.

[Yoink]

That sentence was the sum total of his/her years of paladin training. Palm cards may or may not have been involved.

3 intelligence is literally animal level, isn't it?

[My Name is Immaterial]

No, that's only 1 and 2.

Since my group's been playing Horde of the Dragon Queen, I see it's not too bad, but I'm not sure what advantages it has over any random homebrew setting. If I was playing a D&D setting for the setting itself, I'd pick among Eberron, Spelljammer, or Dark Sun.

What about Planescape?

Well, those are my top 3 settings. Also, coincidentally enough, I don't think any of them could interact with the Planescape cosmology (by either having a different planar model or being entirely cut off from the planes, in Athas's case).

Spelljammer does by default (except in the Pholgiston, which is cut off from the planes like Athas)

I think both Planescape and Spelljammer has that "this setting is ALL OF THE SETTINGS" thing going on.

Except Dragonlance. Because Copyright.

Ah. Housebroken Paladin, I see.

It's alright. Paladins in 3.5 get a special mount at 5th level that starts with 6 intelligence and gains an extra point every three levels.

My horse was twice as smart as me.

That could be fun - always asking your mount's opinion on things. Even better if the rest of the party begins asking the mount instead of you.


Unrelated, I'm a little disappointed that I purchased Eoris and offered to run a game now. Check out a goon review here.

I'm all for dice pools (loved Shadowrun and 7th Sea), but rolling upwards of 12d20 is a bit much on the hands and the dice bag. I've got the dice for it, but I'm the only one out of the group.

Why do I have this mental image of a massive hulking armored slightly drooling figure sitting stop a horse whilst it just navigates most of the necessary day-to-day activities?

Nope, Dragonlance too:

Whilst my paladin had an atrocious intelligence score she was well statted in wisdom and charisma, so her lack of book learning didn't hinder her too much in relating well with other people.

Pathfinder familiars are a pain. If a vermin creature gains an intelligence score it's supposed to get a feat and a skill point, but familiars are supposed to be normal creatures even though they gain an intelligence score. I have no idea which way to go on this one.

[birdy51]

Ask if it can gain a Player Character Class instead. Why be just a normal rat, when you can be Rat Paladin!

Actually IIRC the vermin type in D20 is limited to only creepy-crawly type vermin (worms and bugs)

EDIT:
Unrelated: Is gangsta rap a Perform (Sing) check or a Perform (Oratory) check? Discuss.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Depends. I would say Oratory, because most of it is spoken word with little actually singing.

[Bauglir]

It depends on implementation. Does the bard do his or her own beatboxing, for example? Depending on the rap, it can be a lot more rhythmic and in-tune than you might expect, which would probably qualify as Perform (Singing), but some are definitely more spoken words with a constraint on syllables. In all honesty, I'd let the bard in question swing whichever they preferred. Flavor is mutable!
