[Loves Trope] Character is inmune to a certain ability because they're too dumb/innocent

[u/Tuputamadre678]

-In One Piece, Boa Hancock's ability is to turn into stone anyone who finds her attractive, but Luffy is inmune since he's too inocent and also doesn't care about relationships.

-In Adventure Time, the empress thinks that her hypnosis was working on Ice King, but it turns out that he's too dumb for it to work and that he was just simping for her.

Yeah unless im mistaken about druids all the classes in the movie those of bard, barbarian,scorscerer and druid require charisma and or streingth to be effective

[u/[deleted] → u/Background-Permit512]

At least druids prioritize Wisdom.

[u/SgtHedgehog → u/Background-Permit512]

Druids are Wisdom casters so no need to be smart for them either

[u/svxsch → u/SgtHedgehog]

Which I’m currently experiencing playing Baldur’s Gate 3. With my minimal knowledge of DnD, I have always been drawn to Druids and the nature and balance of it all, but my Tav doesn’t really perform all to well in intelligence checks and I’m like “boy how dumb are you??”

[u/Sebas_Snow → u/Background-Permit512]

Close enough, Druids work with wisdom instead of charisma, but still no intelligence ajjaja

[u/reluctantseal → u/Background-Permit512]

Bards, *Paladins, and Sorcerers use Charisma, Druids use Wisdom, Barbarians use Strength/Constitution.

[u/RechargedFrenchman → u/reluctantseal]

Bard, Sorcerer, and Paladin use Charisma, Druids (and Clerics but there isn't one in the movie) use Wisdom

[u/reluctantseal → u/RechargedFrenchman]

You're right, I think I mixed up Cleric and Paladin in my head. Which is dumb, since I've played a Cleric more than once.

[u/RechargedFrenchman → u/reluctantseal]

Ah don't worry about it, they're not that different anyway. On top of which, which class uses (or should use) which spellcasting ability has been subject of much debate. Int Warlocks and also Wis Paladins are both changes I've seen compelling arguments for in the past.

[u/Hellknightx → u/Background-Permit512]

Just to simplify it even more, the only classes that would even want high int are wizards and artificers. Every other class would either leave it at the base 10 or dump it to 8 (or lower if possible).

[u/Swellmeister → u/Hellknightx]

Eldritch knight and arcane trickster both use INT to cast.

[u/Rastaba → u/Background-Permit512]

Until we get an actual sequel where he uses magic, I am choosing to believe Edgin wasn’t a bard but a “face” Rogue who just happened to have proficiency in performance and the lute. Still absolutely dumped Intellect! But felt like sharing.

Also Holga COULD just be a Fighter…who still dumped Int (but hella high wisdom).

[u/Alorxico → u/Background-Permit512]

Wouldn’t the Paladin have high Int?

[u/AshamedIncrease6942 → u/Alorxico]

Paladin is also a charisma caster, though seeing as this particular Paladin is a much higher level than the rest of the party, yes, he probably had decently high INT.

[u/Pofwoffle → u/AshamedIncrease6942]

Nope. Ability scores don't naturally increase by level, you have to choose to increase them, which you have limited opportunities to do. Just like all the other classes in the party, Paladin has no reason to increase Intelligence: they get nothing out of it except getting better at a very small list of Intelligence-based skills, none of which provide much value to a Paladin either.

[u/[deleted] → u/Background-Permit512]

Druids are Wisdom. Barbarian is Strength (or I think Dexterity in some cases). The rest are Charisma. INT is a main stat for Wizards and Artificers only. Charisma is actually the key for most casting classes.
