UH-oh. That -2 Intelligence stat is going to bring in some haters. I don't have a problem with it, but for some reason a lot of people become upset when Derpy is depicted as anything less than Einstein.
Manestein. |

Yes, but Einstein didn't have +4 Muffins, now did he? |
| Van_Horsing #412555 11 months ago |
I guess not. He did have +4 hair, though. |
| Anonymous #412579 11 months ago |
No, he had +5 hair. |

+4 muffin?
Way too op. |

It depends on how the stats are calibrated. -2 Int out of 20 is fine with me, -2 out of 5 isn't. |

I think the problem is that some people insist on making Derpy into a drooling retard, and that bothers people. The vast majority of fics and fanart I've seen just make her a pony of average intelligence with some strange characteristics.
Usually the "Derpy is a genius" thing is just played as a joke. |

Manestein Ditzy could be an interesting angle actually. We do not have many female Feynmanns or Gausses. The only one to make it into memetic stardom, Marie.
So Derpy as a friendly and normal girl who just happens to be an absent minded genius could go places. I know we've got Twilight, but Twilight isn't an actual genius, only a geek. (<-I meant "geek" as praise.) |

Should probably take an Agility (or maybe Perception) penalty due to the eyesight thing. |
